As a teenager, Michael P. Toomin — the judge who made the ruling that led to this week’s indictment of a nephew of former Mayor Richard M. Daley — appeared more likely to end up on the other side of the bench.
Toomin made headlines for the first time 56 years ago, when he was expelled from New Trier High School for stealing a police car and ended up spending three days in the Cook County Jail.
The only funnier story is the one about the 19th ward judge who stole a US mail truck and drove it in the 1976 St. Pats parade down State street. He got about 2 blocks.
