Downstate Illinois police chief accused of misconduct

BELLEVILLE —Charged Wednesday in St. Clair County, Caseyville Police Chief J.D. Roth, 56, is alleged to have driven for personal and police business a 2003 Dodge Dakota Ram 1500 pickup seized in a drug bust by the Caseyville police instead of selling it at auction as instructed by the village board.

Under the reign of former Chief of Police Rhorer the Fairfax County Police arrested a man for not wearing clothes in his house while he made coffee, set up an eye doctor on a gambling charge and then used the SWAT team to kill him. An investigation into the charge that the Doctor’s primary clients were cops has never been investigated. The police gunned down an emotionally unstable man because cop who shot him wrongly assumed the man was trying to escape. He wasn’t. The cops also shot dead four other citizens under highly questionable circumstances. The department under Rhorer was sued multiple times by citizens. So did they fire Rhorer? Naw they promoted him. According to news reports Rhorer draws a salary of $191,168 per year as Deputy Fairfax County Executive as well as a concurrent pension from the Fairfax County police of $173000 per year.
