| Former Chicago police officer convicted for $1 million bogus check |
| 2010-01-22 |
| A Cook County judge has convicted a 38-year-old Chicago woman of attempting to deposit a $1 million bogus check. And not only was the defendant in Wednesday's bench trial a former Chicago police officer, but prosecutors say she attempted to deposit the bad check in her account at the Chicago Patrolmen's Federal Credit Union. Circuit Court Judge William Lacy found former officer Tiffany Brown guilty of forgery, attempted theft and official misconduct. Prosecutors said Brown tried to deposit the check in August 2006, saying it was a windfall from a legal settlement involving Six Flags Great America amusement park in suburban Gurnee. Great America said the check was fraudulent. Brown was stripped of her police powers after her arrest. |

Don't forget, folks. These are the types of people 'The One®', his 'controllers' and his lackeys are used to dealing with. They are now beginning to realize that normal folks in the other 56 states don't view life in the same way. |

| #5 Sure this wasn't a mistake? She's probably Rahm's go between for a Soody payment and the bank didn't get the word. |

| #3 Brown was stripped of her police powers after her arrest. So, where's the "former" came from? |
