is Charged in Federal Crimes and is to be Tried in Court.
by Ed Vincent
Ex-Oak Park Police Officer Mr. Mani Adams (32 years old
and an ex-policeman with 7 years experience) quit his job last
year on December 9th, almost a year after trouble first raised
its head in the officer many remembered as having smiles
and a quiet demeanor. He remained quite a year or so ago
when he was being investigated and his quiessence may
continue all the way to the courtroom.
One and a half years after all the problems surfaced, Mr. Mani Adams has now been charged conspiring to steal a semi-trailer
truck filled with expensive televisions and other entertainment
equipment. Indicted with Ex-Oak Park Police Officer Mr. Mani Adams, were Donald Brown, 31, and David Wilkins, 30, both from south side of Chicago. Even if Mr. Mani Adams is not found guitly of the charges against him he will not be coming back to Oak Park as a policeman because of his resignation under pressure to answer questions to the department.
Ex-Oak Park Police Officer Mr. Mani Adams is due in court
this Thursday in front of US Federal District Judge Harry D. Leinenweber. Mr. Adams paid his bond of $4,500 and remains
at home. The hearing will be at the Northern District of Illinois, Everett McKinley Dirksen, United States Courthouse
219 South Dearborn Street, Chicago, Illinois.
Judge Harry D. Leinenweber is no stranger to big cases, he has
sentenced convicted Greylord judges, gang members, and others
to jail. He has even caught the eye of legal investigator
Sherman Skolnick-who does not appear to be a fan of the Judge.
