Arrest Made

Shithead charged. Press conference forthcoming. Updates as we have them.

  • A man on parole for armed robbery has been charged with the fatal shootings of Chicago Police Officer Michael Flisk and former Chicago Housing Authority officer Stephen Peters in a Southeast Side alley last week.

    Timothy Herring Jr., 19, of the 8100 block of South Manistee Avenue, was charged with first-degree murder. Prosecutors said Herring is eligible for the death penalty but they have not decided whether to seek it.

    Herring is also charged with attempted murder and aggravated battery with a firearm stemming from an incident in June. No details were available on that case.

    The suspect lives across the alley from where Peters parked his prized Ford Mustang GT inside his mother's garage in the 8100 block of South Burnham Avenue, sources told the Tribune.

According to IDOC his 20th birthday is December 11th.

How bout he get a day off to celebrate and I take him out to a Forest Preserve and introduce him to a slough? I'm sure the wee critters out there would enjoy feasting on his rotten carcass.

Two good men are dead because of this fuckhead. He did 3 year for armed robbery?

Thanks. Good work, everyone. This was a real bad guy -- all the good people in the city are a little bit safer tonight with him locked away.

God bless all. We'll give Thanksgiving a couple more days, huh, so everyone can get caught up. Go grab a hot coffee or a cold beer (and a turkey sandwich)and be grateful once more this season that you and yours are all together and OK.

So, we have addicts in jail for drug bullshit, other people in jail for non-predatory type stuff, yet we decide to make room by letting out an armed robber with an arms long rap sheet?

Pathetic. Just pathetic.
I support sentencing reform IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. Downward for a lot of stuff, but way, way, way upward for predatory criminals.

Predators are predators. Anyone who would use a firearm to rob someone would just as easily kill someone. Here, we have proof.

You are a moron. I've probably been a dick longer than you've been on the job. I have had several commanders at Area Two and have been involved in way too many cases involving officers being injured or killed. Keith Calloway did an outstanding job in overseeing this investigation. He let the detectives do their job, assisted in the coordination with outside units and ran interference with various bosses throughout the department. I'm sure he ruffled some feathers and left some with their noses out of joint. It was refreshing to see a boss act in this manner. Calloway is top notch, the real deal. He's a real cop and he is the type of leader this department is in dire need of. Lt. Deenihan also did an outstanding job. He was definitely tested under fire and performed admirably. I, and my fellow detectives really appreciate these two guys. It's a real good feeling to know your bosses are competent. Great job guys and great job to all the dicks , gang officers, narcotics, tact and patrol who helped on this case. I've never seen such a coordinated cooperation. Even the State's Attorney (Fabio) performed admirably. God bless Mike and his family.

I would like to thank everyone involved in finding this scum. I was very proud when I heard the news. I talked to people in the Flisk family who also were so thankful. You guys did a great job and made this a little easier for those close to Mike. I hope we never have to deal with anything like this again. God bless the Flisk family through the coming holiday and we are here for you Tim for whatever you need.

Awesome job by Area Two Detectives!!! It made me proud to see all of the Detectives on the Homicide side huddled together working hard putting it together to get this sub human garbage charged. No matter how big or small anyone's part was in this investigation, every bit helped and everyone helped that includes the Mission Team guys, RBT Detectives and SVU.

Also, a big THANK YOU should go to The Gang Intelligence and Gang Enforcement officers that worked closely with the Area Two Detectives to see this investigation through. They worked equally as hard.

Hey JFLED, this is right up your alley. Have the Feds charge this scumbag with a civil rights violation. At least he would get a longer time in prison than Crook County can hand out. Or do you only pick on the good guys...?

The blood of these two officers should rest on the Judge that decided Parole was appropriate for this violent criminal. His RAP sheet is appaling.

Judges don't decide parole, a parole board does.

Does anyone know if this mutt was one of Quinn's early release shitheads?

Six year sentence for armed robbery, serves less than three. Illinois justice.

Meanwhile PO Cozzi sits still in a federal prison for slapping someone who needed slapping.

11/29/2010 09:25:00 PM

I am not sure if he was one of Quinn's early releases but he was some kind of early release. He got 6 and should have done half under our bullshit sentencing formula (day for day good time) but did even less than that.

DAMN RIGHT ABOUT THE CONTRAST WITH COZZI. ITS MADDENING. SAVAGE ARMED ROBBER DOES LESS TIME THAN A PO WHO SLAPPED A GUY A FEW TIMES. YOU CAN SEE WHAT SOCIETY THINKS OF US. ITS A BIZZARO WORLD.

Because he figured he was about to get caught for the burglary he did that morning. Knowing he was too stupid to wear gloves he assumed the print found was his. And he didn't want to go back to prison. Didn't work out too well for him.

I don't even think of the death penalty as a viable option any more.

14 years or so of appeals and putting the families through the bullshit for those years and it being in the news and with no ending for years and years is not a desirable option, in my opinion.

Lacking an execution by firing squad within 30 days of sentencing, we should just realize that the death penalty in Illinois is not a realistic option to be carried out in many of our lifetimes.

On death row he becomes a cause celebre. The candle holding hymn singing kumbaya chanting crowd will have a new cause to rally around.

Fuck that, We should adjust our sights to Life Without Possibility of Parole in a hard time joint.

Life without the possibility of parole in Tamms would be OK. This vermin's greatest fear is of going back to prison? Fine, give it to him. At 19 he can look forward to at least 50 years in a concrete and steel box.

Then we can forget him that much sooner and remember our cherished colleague.

I would say thank you to all of those who worked tirelessly on the apprehension of this vermin. I don’t think any Detective, Police Officer or Boss that was involved in the heart of this investigation would think any thanks are necessary. All involved in bringing this filth to justice will carry with them scars on their hearts of enduring this tragedy up close. I pray each and every one of them can walk away with their heads held high with the greatest pride of this most important job, WELL DONE !!!!!!!!!

If the suspect started his parole in September, how then did he commit a crime in June or is the Tribune article wrong.

Keith Calloway, please invest in some public speaking classes, you were a very bad representation of the department at the press conference. Nice work A/2 Detectives!!!

11/29/2010 05:46:00 PM

======================================================================

Listen you two idiots, did you stop to think that Keith Calloway has not had a moment of sleep since Officer Flisk was murdered? He has given his round the clock "all" and done everything possible to assist the people of his command in finding this pos murderer. Anybody that has been a detective knows how important it is to have a commander that runs interference and/or keeps the interefernce away so everybody can do their jobs.

I first met Keith Calloway when he was a PPO and have had the pleasure of dealing with him professionally in each of his ranks and assignments. Keith is the real deal. He is a good and decent man and police officer and he does not have a bigoted or racist bone in his body. He is a square shooter, unlike many others on our job.

Old White Guy.

Parole board, not judge.


There is no parole board anymore except for old timers sentenenced years ago under the old law. It been day for day good time for just about every crime for years now. Its almost automatic - you get sentenced to 20 and you do 10.

In this case the savage was given 6 for Armed Robbery which meant he does 3. I believe Armed Robbery is a Class X and 6 was at the bottom end of what he could have gotten. The liberal judge is to blame and most likely the States Attorney although I don't know if his case went to trial or was a plea.

I'm thankful this savage was caught!!! It angers me to know that out tax paying money will keep him alive through his sentence in a prison where he is surrounded by people just like him. I have a ton of respect for the officers that took him into custody. It must have been close to impossible to not beat him til he was almost dead.

Cmdr. Calloway is a great man and a great boss. He has been through a lot in his career as a Cmdr.

Enough with the bullshit about Calloway and how he communicates.

Some of the greatest thinkers of all time have been less than adroit communicators- communication is not a sign of competence that translates into anything else. Someone can stutter, pause and occasionally jumble words yet still posses intelligence-types are are very relevant to many other things.

People who over-emphasize this don't know much about how life works and are probably likely to underestimate an average or less-than-average communicator at their peril.

The only thing we can do to really change things is to go on strike and demand more manpower. After a few days on strike, this city will burn to the ground.

Unfortunately this will never happen. Things will go on as usual. Things will not change unless WE do something. Obviously our leadership and politicians aren't going to do anything.


If we went on strike, crime would go up hundreds of percentage points. Then people might see how important the police are.

11/29/2010 11:16:00 PM


If police go on strike they get fired. If FOP advocates a strike the union gets certified as bargaining agent. It is against state law for police to strike. We cannot strike.

But we can picket. We can vote. We can write letters. We can go to City Hall during council meetings and raise hell. We can go to the 5th floor of City Hall and raise hell right outside the door of the throne room.

There are many things we can do. Strike is not one of them.
