• CPD Sergeant Who Led Botched Raid at Home of Anjanette Young Now Working as a Suburban Police Detective (wttw.com) — Niles officials are standing by their decision to employ former Chicago police sergeant Alex Wolinski as a detective, even after his firing over the botched Anjanette Young raid was upheld on appeal.
