What was the problem?

Commander Edward Wodnicki

Chicago police official reassigned after speeding incident in Indiana

CHICAGO (AP) - A Chicago police commander has been reassigned amid allegations he drove at speeds of more than 100 mph while being pursued by Indiana state authorities.

The Chicago Tribune reports Friday Cmdr. Edward Wodnicki was reassigned to administrative duty. Department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi says an internal investigation is underway into the June 12 incident near Chesterton, Indiana, about 45 miles from Chicago.

The Associated Press couldn't reach Wodnicki for comment.

Indiana police say Wodnicki was observed speeding on Interstate 94 in an unmarked car with blue lights flashing. A trooper says Wodnicki initially failed to stop, but did so before driving over spike strips deployed by troopers. He was ticketed for driving 80 mph (129 kmh) in a 70 mph (113 kmh) zone.

Wodnicki, commander of a detective division, oversaw the investigation into "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett.

His clout will protect him. Bosses never face real discipline.

Indiana doesn’t play, Chicago has a needle exchange program for junkies, in Porter county Indiana possession of a needle gets you felony charges. Nothing we like better than locking up Chicago based criminals, it sends a message, Stay away this ain’t Kim Fox country.

I love the story about how his dad got bounced from the CPD. He was Chief of Detectives and a front runner to become Superintendent.

This blog is about

This blog is non-monetized and uses photos and materials from other sources. It is in compliance with Fair Use Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Code. Music, videos and mugshots are for entertainment and disincentive purposes only. Any similarities or resemblances to people or pets, living, dead or imprisoned is just your imagination. Some stories are true, some are fictional while some of the stories are funny.

The theme of this blog has changed. We are now headed into a period of extreme political and economic troubles. We want to increase everyone's awareness and show them how to weather the storm. We are going to begin including articles and videos on prepping (food, water, shelter, medicine, self-defense,) basic economics and general SHTF lifestyle changes.

I am not going to be critical of 19th ward politicians. They tend to do the best job they can with very limited resources, and don't need to be beaten up. In fact, people should be helping them as they are among the last "normal" leaders in Illinois.

I am keeping the 19th Ward Chicago name because of the rich blog history going back to 2010 and because there is a ready-made base of similar-thinking readers. For now on, the 19th Ward of Chicago will be mainly a point of reference, an observation deck if you will. A place where allot of good-natured, normal-thinking people still live and can safely view the dysfunction overtaking America. Write whatever you want about whatever or whomever you want. Just keep it true and not vulgar.

At all times, we am going to comply with Blogspot's community standards. We have seen what happens when there is not such compliance.

We will never publish threats of physical violence or baseless attacks on people or institutions.
