The Missing Police Car Caper
- A West Side woman was arrested Friday morning after allegedly driving off in the squad car of the officer who had just arrested her for driving under the influence, police said.
And speaking of missing squad cars, (we've told people we have a memory like a steal trap - we used to run the boards playing trivia and we were NTN Trivia champs in a couple of bars), anyone know what happened with this story that we wrote about way back on 19 July 2005 concerning the missing 014th District squad car? Anyone ever catch any time on that caper?

Am I first??
How can you justify something like a not reporting a stolen marked car? I have worked with a lot of goofs in my career, but this is too much! 20 and out sound a lot better every day.
014 is evolving into a morass of bad decision-making. I don't know what if the guy who's squad was taken took time - I know he got an ass-chewing for it.
But recently two p/o's from 014 took their personal car - and not much else - to a different district to do a drug buy and ended up calling a 10-1 when the shit hit the fan. Very bad decision; they went alone w/o a take-down car. One got jacked in the head by a local M/1.
thought the guy in 014 that got his car boosted got stripped.
What do you expect, 014 cannot control Wicker Park. They always detail cars from 016 and 025 to control the yuppies. We all know how tough those yuppies are! GRRR!
how does 014 like there new W.C. ?
Heard the great shoot out at Diversey/Central had a 2.1% hit ratio by the police
Heard you've never fired your weapon at an armed offender.
You gotta practice, by seeing the shooting scores at the range I can see why no one hits the side of the barn.
does not matter the hit ratio by police, (1) bad guy dead others in custody... NO POLICE hurt. thats all that matters period
016 coppers suck!
Hey lets arm the police with those assault weapons! 30 shot mags, firepower! And don't forget those flashhiders and bayonet lugs. Spray and pray just like Vietnam for increase hit ratio.
The copper in 014 is at call back looking at 30 pending. Not for having his car stolen but for the false reports and attempted cover up.
Arrested woman takes squad car, cops say
Published January 21, 2006
CHICAGO -- A West Side woman was arrested Friday morning after allegedly driving off in the squad car of the officer who had just arrested her for driving under the influence, police said.
Veronique Armour, 22, of the 5000 block of West Grand Avenue was charged with one felony count of possession of a stolen vehicle and a misdemeanor count of escape from police, said Police Officer JoAnn Taylor. Armour also was cited for driving under the influence, obstructing traffic and driving left of center, Taylor said.
A Town Hall District officer stopped Armour about 11:30 a.m. for driving on the wrong side of the road in the 400 block of West Fullerton Parkway, police said. While the officer was moving Armour's car from the center of the road, Armour slipped out of her handcuffs, got into the front seat of the police car and drove off.
The squad car was left in an alley in the 2700 block of North Halsted Street, police said. Armour was arrested a short time later at a residence in the 2900 block of North Clark Street, Taylor said.
To 11:55 and 52 I realize that most coppers from 016 are strokes when it comes time to do there job, but the guys involved in the shoot out are good guys one in particular is a great uy he's an old sos guy named Bone. If you worked out west most coppers know him. And no i'm not from 016, more like 015. Lighten up on them a little bit.
The stolen car was from unit 151, BT 3203.

Wasn't Bone the guy who molested those underage girls at the hot dog stand on Irving while he was working about 5 years ago?
Oh, I mean allegedly molested those underage girls...
three up, sounds like a spider or stupid stack comment..
2:28:26
No he wasn't.
To 0346, it's not spider or stack, but I would be willing to bet you wouldn't say that to their face. Oh and by the way the place was alledgedly on Central not Irving get your facts straight fool. And if he did it he wouldn't be back on the job now would he.

What difference does the "hit ratio" make? They killed a bad guy and arrested the other two co-offenders. It was a job well done. The entire team is top notch. It is comprised of a Sgt. who honed his skills while serving in the 018th District Tactical prior to being promoted and a few VERY capable young patrolman who have obviously studied the art of Police work. That and the assistance of a very experienced copper named Bone all paid off handsomely on the night in question. So instead of trying to stir the pot, you should be proud that we have Officers who did what they did that night.

You jealous, low-life muthafucker!
Bone paid his dues a long time ago as a superb street cop.
How many times have you searched for and locked up a double cop killer, you sick, worthless piece of shit?
Do you get wood by anonymously trying to drag a superb street cop's reputation through the mud?
Well done, Harold & Co.!
was there for the incident when they arrested the goof who took the car total nut pretending to be the police. He said the cop went into eat and left the car running he got tired of waiting for the bus and got in the car and took off had it for over a day took it to work at whole foods on north ave where he worked and was doing donuts in the parking lot. the police officers belongings were still in the car when they recovered it what a goof.

I absolutely agree that he is an outstanding cop who has proven himself to be one of those rare few that other coppers respect.!
But the allegation WAS made, and the FACT is that if not for his friendship with the person in charge of IAD at the time, that great cop would have been fired. He may have won his job back on appeal, but Rowan saved his ass from going through any of that.
I'm not saying the guy did what he was accused of. But I've read the investigation, and I ain't about to say that he didn't.
In any case, glad to see he has remained the REAL police, and came out of that shooting unscathed.
How many is that for H. B. now? I know it's at least two, I think more. Better be careful, Jesse 's gonna march on him soon!

FUCKIN CRY BABY COME AND MEET US BT 1656 3RD WATCH!
ALL NEW TO 016. ANY TIME ANYWHERE!
TALK SHIT ALL YOU WANT, WERE HERE DOIN OUR JOB!!! FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO AREN'T. I KNOW A SHITLOAD OF COPPERS WHO ARE HAPPY THAT WERE HERE!!! COME ON OVER AND SHOW US YOUR FABULOUS STATS!!!
MAYBE WE WILL ADD YOU TO THE LIST OF 187 OTHER COPPERS WHOSE HOUSES WERE WATCHING.
Allegations are just that,allegations. Do you really think Rowan or anybody else would coverup something as serious as that simply because they worked in the same Distict may years ago? Theres alot more to this story than you are aware of my friend. Does the phrase bullshit mean anything to you? He wouldn't be the first copper that somebody concocted a B/S story on. And yes, I too am familar with the contents of that file.
Boy, I sure hope that isn't the real 1656 because identifying yourself here after using that language could probably be a bad idea. Use the brains, not the balls, son.
And to anyone who wants to congratulate another copper on here, or even just give some respect, for god's sake, don't put a copper's name on here! No matter how many people may love that person, there is always gonna be at least one anonymous jagoff to drag a story up to discredit that person!
Think!!!
Glass houses and all...yadda yadda yadda....
John well said. But tell us how you really feel. Don't sugar coat it,lol.
Why not? If they are doing as he says they are, I'd like to say thanks myself. It's about time we got somebody that understands the meaning of the word "fraternity".

Oh, how correct you are...
Harold Bone is a great guy who almost got fired years ago because of a bullshit beef. It's a shame that we don't have another 50 guys like Harold in 016.
what about the sgt exam. why are they only promoting 320 off this list
i think a new crop of insiders are on their way up befor matt leaves. regarding sgt exam . i heard there is going to be a lawsuit
TALK ABOUT MISSING POLICE CARS, HOW ABOUT BT 1631?????
The last of Matts friends from 011 just made Sgt from the test. No one else with connections is really left, so it's time for a new test. If you want to be a Sgt get in good with Divine. You can still try to get in good with Matt too (I'm talking about for the next test). Theses guys filing a lawsuit have gotta be kidding. This is Chicago. Not New York, not L.A.. This is Chicago. Get connected or find another job. You can always go to law school- The lawyers on the job get promoted. They are the only educated guys who move up a little on this job. It could be that they score well on the test (I really mean it). It could be that the city doesn't want them filing a shit load of lawsuits, freedom of information suits, ect.,. All Matts buddies have been promoted. All Peter's friends will be promoted. I'm sure there are others out there who have the golden touch. Not to take away from Cline or Divine, they're good people. This is Chicago.
I'll do anything anytime anywhere with BONE. Class act
Anything?
great work by the 025 guys and 016 at the Auto Zone incident. All four did a great job. Dont forget , M.B. was there also.
Harold,
quit patting yourself on the back on this blog and posting it anonymous.
Interesting guy, considering every other word out of his mouth is "muthafucker" and "asshole."
ok. lets move on...next subject..thanks
to 1/21/2006 08:17:15 PM
Don't worry, there will be at least one more class off this sgts list, Possibly 2.
Shame on you, Harold!
Let's clean it up so not to offend "virgin ears".
In the future, kindly refer to miscellaneous pieces of feces as "maternally incestuous anal sphincters".
Harold:
I respectfully disagree with 7:48 p.m.
I opine that "muthafuckin' assholes" has a certain charming ambience to it.
UNIT 151-TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT UNIT.
BT. 3203 - NORTH LAKE SHORE DRIVE RADAR CAR. COULD THIS HAVE BEEN PREVENTED? YES, INSTALL CAGES IN ALL TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT CARS. THEN THE PRISONERS WON'T CLIMB INTO THE FRONT SEAT AND DRIVE AWAY. WHY DON'T THEY HAVE THEM? SECRET SERVICE DOES NOT LIKE CAGE CARS WHEN THEY ARE USED IN MOTORCADES OR VIP DETAILS. FRANK RADKE DOES NOT LIKE TO DRIVE A CAGE CAR WHEN HE BORROWS THEM TO TAKE HOME ON THESE DETAILS. THE PARTITION KEEPS THE SMELL OF BOOZE TOO CLOSE TO HIM AND MAKES HIM VOMIT FREQUENTLY. HE STILL THINKS THE LISTERINE HIDES THE SMELL FROM THE REST OF US. IT DOES NOW WORK FRANK!
Time to go to "the farm", Frank!
Suspect a cheating spouse?
Now for only $89.95, you can buy a semen detection kit on the Internet that will process suspected DNA.
Check your spouse's undergarments for cumstains, CSI-style. If the reagent turns purple, file for divorce.
I've known Bone for a long time and although a total pervert, those girls at the hotdog stand flashed a few guys before Harold came along. He has always been a great street cop and has always stood up for his friends
please; next subject...thanks
3203 could have easily called for a cage car too if she was starting to act goofy...
A TACT SGT FROM 013 A FEW YEARS BACK LEFT HIS CAR ON COLUMBUS DRIVE. HE JUMPED IN WITH GUYS FROM HIS ELITE TEAM AND FORGOT HIS CAR. HE THEN HAD SEVERAL DAYS OFF. STREETS AND SAN CALLED 013 AND ASKED IF THEY NEEDED US TO TOW THE CAR OR IF WE WERE GOING TO PICK IT UP. AT LEAST THE CAR WAS FOUND AND OF COURSE, THE SGT PLAYED DUMB, MAYBE BECAUSE HE IS DUMB!!!
Is that Sgt still in 13. I'm not for naming names here, but you have to give me hint as to who that was.
NO, THAT SGT WAS THERE WHEN CMDR HELEN DEWITT WAS THERE. THEY HAVE BOTH MOVED ON. HE WAS AN OLD "B-TEAM" SGT.
Go TRU
WILL HAVE TO ARGUE WITH THE 016 WORKING POLICE IDEA...A YEAR AGO I WATCHED AN OFFENDER ATTEMPT TO BOOT MY NEIGHBORS DOOR IN. 016 FINALLY SENT THE WAGON AFTER 3 911 CALLS FROM ME. 2 WERE 10-1 AND A CALL FROM MY NEIGHBOR WHO SAID I WASD HOLDING THE GUY AT GUN POINT. THE GREAT WAGON MAN THEN THREW THE GUY IN THE BACK AND PULLED AWAY WITHOUT A REPORT, COMPLAINTS ETC.....REAL NICE THEY HELP THEIR BROTHERS OUT......
Send out super C.B.!!!! He da man wit da plan! Cleanin' up 016!!!!!!!!!!
