Shades of Wenger
- Chicago police detectives are investigating after a woman was found dead in the Far Northwest Side home of a former Chicago police officer that was the scene of a 12-hour standoff last year.
The woman, 28, of northwest suburban Mount Prospect, was found unresponsive around 6 p.m. Saturday in a residence in the 6500 block of North Onarga Avenue in the Edison Park neighborhood, police said.
The Cook County medical examiner’s office has not ruled on the cause or manner of the woman’s death pending further review. Detectives are conducting a death investigation.
The former police officer called 911 after he discovered the woman lying on the floor, police said.
This isn't going to end well.

Don't you just hate it?
Every time I stumble to the bathroom and I step on a dead woman in the hallway it really pisses me off!
The least they could do is avoid the path from the bedroom to the bathroom.
On another interesting death investigation.
So 3 Rocket Scientist's from the West side go to a strip club and get wasted, they then get into a car and get lost. So they whip out the I-Phone and ask SIRI for directions, and end up driving into the Little Calumet river. One guy gets out and stumbles to the nearest road, he gets help form a motorist who calls 911. Seems the only survivor doesn't tell anyone he crawled out of a sinking car and his 2 friends are still in it.
But of course the EXTENDED family and play cousins merge on the Yacht Club and are blaming everyone for the tragedy except for the 3 guilty idiots who got drunk and drove into a river. Family was out there hooting and hollering that there is no sign or a barricade or chain at the boat launch. They just looking for a payout.
Always look to deflect the blame of your stupidity to someone else for their poor choices.
Thankfully they didn't enter the Ford or Ryan expressway the wrong way and kill some innocent motorist.
The family should blame the Strip Club (FACTORY) for allowing them to become so intoxicated that they cant even follow SIRI's directions.
This is how Chicago journal-mopes at the fibune are fighting
The Police push-back against the consent decree.
And speaking of...
They buried this hit piece
when the put the "ex chicago cop"
hit piece up...
-As reform gains traction, Chicago police union pushes back-
"Comprehensive police reform is gaining significant traction
in Chicago after decades of damaging scandals, as politicians
and activists line up behind an overhaul that soon could
have the force of a federal judge behind it."
~SNIP!~
"The Chicago Fraternal Order of Police is digging in on multiple fronts.
The union is in court trying to stop the consent decree, and it’s fighting
Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s other reform efforts at the state level and through
local labor grievances...."
Perhaps if Rahm weren't such a profligate breaker of contract and labor
laws, FOP wouldn't be forced to "fight" Rahm's bullshit "reform efforts."
Slippery syntax and omission are being used to cast Policemen
via FOP as insubordinate instead of a accurately portrayed as
employees trying to protect themselves from having rights and
due process protections peeled away in a misdirected effort to
combat the overheated narrative of "Blue Wall of Silence."
Bullshit, agenda driven reporting by the fibune.
Clout baby at it again, nothing to see here. Nothing will happen.
Sad days. That officer was a really nice guy before he got messed up following an injury. Quirky, but genuinely nice.
Who or what is Wenger?
Why do you think they call it dope?
If all the people who would have abused their bodies with illegal drugs, I would have guessed Pete Wenger to be the last.
Was that sgt spike again.
Ugh Wenger. Haven’t heard that name in long time. What a POS that guy was. I was so sick of people making excuses that that idiot.
First time ever going against SCC, but the guy was still on the job when this happened then resigned the following month.
When I was in the academy over 30 years ago during the first week an instructor told us that from now on we will always be known as Chicago Police Officers. Whether we were on the job, retired, or just plain left the job, we would always be identified a Chicago Police Officers.
Back then that was something to be proud of, today I don't tell anyone I am/was a Shitcago Police Officer
Bring 'em back as a civilian SWAT consultant. The experience dealing with police stand-offs is invaluable.

The Factory is a BYOB nightclub. So they didn’t over serve them.
Plus they could of drank some more AFTER they left the strip club.
Plus maybe this guy was driving and did it on purpose. Maybe he
wanted to off the other 2 guys...ijs

Ask your co-workers who've been around for awhile.
Many people don’t know about sgt wenger...
Folks dropping like flies with that synth dope shit pouring in uncontrolled over the border via China.
No coverage unless a Democrat is posturing.
Yet the FakeNews is trying to highlight this CPD angle and make it a coverup, code of silence story.
Pick and choose the many tales of the ghetto, but stop the presses when there’s an anti-police opportunity.
RIP.
I’ll always will remember and greatful to have known Pete Wenger.
Whipped and ran many a tired ass into shape...when the Academy was an academy.
By the time they were ready to turn us loose, many of us back-of-the-pack were keeping pace with that jack rabbit on those runs to the Gardens of Rock Well. I never, ever ran track or cross country, but after the academy I became an avid competitive runner for the next 20 years.
Too bad he waned into the dark side and the consequences thereof.

Just saw the families on TV saying, there ain't no gate, no fence, no chain or any signs telling you not to drive down the ramp, you just drive right down it and you in the water.
Well maybe, if the occupants were not intoxicated and looking at their phones for directions, they would have seen where they were driving. At the speed the car was travelling, a brick wall would not have stopped the car.
Pete Wenger was one of the Gym staff when I went through the Academy in 1986. He would take our groups out for runs...torture runs if you will. He was Drill Sgt. (Instructor) like, in our training. He was, for us, the quintessential Police Academy hard ass who was fit like an Olympic athlete. He could also be a big jerk. All in all I would say he was sincere. As time passed he stepped on his dick about overtime slips and was dumped from the academy. I think he landed in 014. I, a Sgt. in 011 assisted a Beat car on a 1st watch traffic stop of a car registered to Pete Wenger around Ohio and Pulaski. Pete was definitely NOT driving it and the nice two "ladies" in possession of the car knew Pete well. Months later Pete's off the job for not peeing, or peeing hot, I can't remember. Not long after that he's a DOA OD at his house in 016. A very sad tale really, and a cautionary tale to all you young officers. Life will beat you up; those who molded your early careers may not get as far as you. It's said that we stand on the shoulders of giants. I might say I stood on Pete's, but I could never catch up to him!
Did she live there? Was she visiting? How did she gain entry? Questions ??????
He’s been a junkie for years, his daddy took care of him . Even at his last incident with the gun in the car and suicidal thoughts (bonafide) his daddy flew in from Florida and took care of it. And a few bosses also kicked in too. It’s a joke these people put their names on the line for a junkie that don’t want any help. Give it up already, he’s a shithead plain and simple. and he is fostering heroin use in his daddies house in 016. Fuck him and his retired boss daddy!! Maybe a slick lawyer for the dead junkie can teach this family a lesson .

It’s better you don’t know.
As a Sgt in the academy, he could run like the wind!
"There be no signs to warn, I say, NO signs to warn of the water, No gate.........we's going sue and shut down the river like we shut down the handicapped kid camp in Algonquin when our chitlings stole that boat....No warning that the boat had a hole in it......they's had a hard time getting tha6t chain off of it....
If you don't know who Wenger is, you have no time on the job....Google it
Isn't he the running man at the academy who pissed hot and was fired? Then got caught in a Westside rat dope house and did some jail Time?
Nice guy . Too bad he had some big problems ....
One of the things I always ask myself when I meet a new woman to prospectively date is......
Is there a chance this person will kill herself in my domicile?
If there is the slightest hint of crazy in their eyes, I move on.

He was on the job for the standoff. The dead body turned up three days ago, so he wasn't a cop anymore.

Maybe you shouldn’t have gone against SCC this time because you are batting 0-1
I had forgotten about Pete W., he was a great gym instructor at the Academy. Still can't believe what happened.

Okay dinosaur. I googled his name and all that popped up was his obituary saying that he croaked in 2004. Other then that, zilch. No old news articles or anything saying that he was knocking over diamond stores to pay for his habit. I only got 17 years on the job so please tell this young whipper snapper all the gory details if your Alzheimer's ain't acting up too much.
Pete Wenger was one of my first FTO's on how phony this outfit is. So was that body building idiot who juiced himself into the grave, the one who got clipped by his wife for beating her. It was Leroy to the rescue for him and all his shit. Macho man beat his wife until she said "enough, knowing 911 isn't going to do shit, so she shot him in the guts. Most guys yathink they'd fire no? After all horse steroids are illegal drugs unless your a horse. Or maybe a cow.
Another time I watched him double park his pink Cadillac right at the intersection of Devon and Western while he went to different places to do his errands. When the foot cop asked him to move he threatened the foot cop with death. Another time I was working 911 when some old Lady called, like in her '70s, and asked for a SGT cause he threatened to kill her if she ever asked his wife to not allow their dog to shit on her Lawn again.
But he had a bat phone right to Leeeeroy who thought he was a fine propo tool for the Dept. A MR. Universe for the ages. Damn what a damn phony job. I wonder how I lasted.
This former PO was always a nice kid. Would give you the shirt off his back. Got hooked on prescription pain pills for an injury. It's unfortunate, but it happens. POs are not immune. He went to treatment more than once. There's no magic cure and addiction is a lifetime battle. He's not on the job anymore, and hasn't been for a while, which is a good thing. This is a really horrible outcome for this young lady, and I will pray for her family. I'm just saying that not everyone that gets caught up in addiction is a shithead.
I was one week into the academy when Wenger got promoted to sergeant. You never heard such a huge sigh of relief then the class of 88-3. However, Gus Tero told us, "I'm not gonna run you like Wenger, but you are gonna run!"

I'm pretty sure the reason he went the wrong way was that his was was diagnosed with cancer, he cared for her and she eventually passed....that weighed a lot on him, depression and then drugs. I, too, am of the 1986 and remember his runs well...
Never met Wenger. Was he the one I heard about that had a son that was also a drug addict and the two of them would get caught in 015 or 011 looking to score crack/heroin? If true it sounds like a police officer's worst nightmare come to life.
Actually, a nice young man who has been battling this problem for quite some time. Also comes from an extremely nice and supportive
family. Prayers for him, his family, & the deceased girl..
Don’t know the circumstances, but tragic for all involved.
All you morons who are making jokes about this, wait till it hits close to your family.
Didn’t Sgt Wenger go off the deep end after his son died. I came on in 85 and he was a runners runner. He didn’t seem like a jerk to me. That was during the days when not every academy instructor was trying to be everybody’s friend. Whatever he did afterwards, he did his job with us. Trust me, addiction is a mofo. He paid a high price, let him rest. It’s not nice to speak ill of the dead.
It sounds like Wenger would have benefited from some occasional belches of Scotch along with some McDonalds once in awhile instead of being such a fitness freak. Maybe then his mind wouldn't have snapped and he wouldn't have been chasing the dragon. Sorry, but no excuse for a man of his age to start doing drugs when he did. At least people hooked on opioids have somewhat of an excuse if they get hooked using them for an injury.

If you think it was the job you are wrong. He was fucked up long before the job. The problem is he was never judged harshly in his life. Maybe had someone judged him harsher early on he wouldn’t be like this. A precautionary take of why you don’t give your kids everything.
Wang runs were torture. He was a skinny, long-distance, marathon type guy. I hated those runs down to the lake and back.
His wife was wheel- chair bound with MS. Don’t know how he got caught up with the drugs. Lot of people take pain killers for injuries and don’t get hooked.
Retired, 32 years otj.

I have 26 yrs on and I never even heard of the guy.
Wenger was okay by me. Guided me and showed me how to successfully get out of the academy without fucking up. He pointed me in the right direction at the exact time I needed to be taking a turn in the right directionguided. I thank him all the time. He could have just let me sink because I was nothing to him, but he said he did not want to see a copper fail. That was the first time I was called a copper. It is a shame how things ended for him, but he got me over the finish line and I owe him a debt of gratitude. Thanks Pete.
Normally your info is pretty solid, I hate to say this but you are way off. Both Wenger and his son have been dead for years. This is a different former P.O. who fell into heroin use. You really should clarify your statement on this. I sent this in before but you won't allow it to be seen.
11/06/2018 01:07:00 AM
Especially disingenuous as the reporters at the Tribune unionized this year.
Went through the Academy in 1978 and Wenger was one of the decent gym instructors. Back then Jim Marsh and Jacobson who later went to 017. Wenger was one of the nicer guys in the gym. Jacobson was a prick, along with Ms. Lillian. I heard about Wenger's issues about 15 years ago and was shocked. He was the last guy I thought would go off the deep end. And like an earlier poster said here, he got us running. Its also surprising to me to hear others post that he became kind of an asshole. All and all sad to hear anyone go down the way he did.

Agree wholeheartedly my single friend. I also ask myself after meeting a lovely lady:
Is there a remote chance this person may kill me in my sleep, rob me, then burn my house down. You'd be surprised on how many gorgeous babes I veto due to this simple criteria!
Pete Wenger, Pat Maslanka, Jimmy Marsh, Sergio “Mr. Olympus” Oliva, Burt Kahn, Bill Holman, Bob “Mr. RedMan” Schwind, Tom (USMC)Walton were all 020 raiders and Insane Fish gang members populating the academy in the mid 80s.
True Story: Sergio had the foot beat at Devon and Western but went to lunch at a beauty salon at Sheridan and Devon (2400 West to 1000 West) and as he was just entering the beauty parlor in full uniform a citizen ran up and stated someone was robbing a store a half a block away. Sergioi , with his police radio blaring, calmly stated “I on lunch call 911”. Yeah, Sergio the real police, Captain McGinnis’s sycophant.
We had a lot of fun “back in the day, at the end of the day”.
When we were in the academy in '86, someone asked Wenger," I know they have physical fitness program in the academy, but what about when you get out and go to a District?" Wenger says, "When you get to big to fit in a beat car, they put you in the wagon."
Another time, they ran a family night at the academy. Marsh and Wenger were doing a demonstration on disarming someone with a gun. Wenger was holding the gun and got his finger broken by Marsh.
Wenger was not there to be everyone's pal, but he did get a lot of people, that never would have, pass that run and obstacle course, and go into their blues. I had the pleasure of those Rockwell Garden runs two times. Once in Metro Class and then Chicago class. Like others have said, the last guy you'd ever expect to be hitting that pipe.
This recent ex-cop has been a problem for YEARS. Who would believe a junkie cop working the streets? On heroin for a long time and the department was trying to get him with the piss test . He would hit the medical or go off on abuse so he wouldn’t piss hot. A clout kid who was taken care of for a long time. Nobody wanted him along on search warrants because he would pocket the dope. Last year while on the medical again, department ordered him to piss , and finally pissed hot, department was stealth and got him dirty. He knew he was screwed so the “ suicidal thoughts.” His ex boss dad flew in and tried to take care of it again. The department did the right thing and forced him to resign. This guy has been an issue for quite awhile, and costing us a lot of money in his long history of medical abuse. All due in fact because he is clouted up. The story is a shame from the start, instead of taking care of the issue years ago like it should’ve been, the result is someone is dead. A lot of people deserve the blame for this one.
Sad. A young man destroyed by the job. Please don't judge him too harshly or quickly if you don't know his story
You my friend are emotionally attached. Obviously your o jectivity went out the door a long time ago. If you love him so much you should let him move in with you. He's an adult and he made choices. Fucked up choices that as you can see are still ruining the rest of his life. Call him out instead of babying him. You play with the shit, expect to smell like it.
6.25pm ummmm, wrong guy. That was Sergio. Get your knuckleheads right
Wenger was a good guy who cared for the coppers he trained, just like Tero (Rip also), who would get your ass in gear. In 1986 we also had Marsh and Tremaine martial arts guys who took no shit but made sure we could handle a situation, remember the red man it was me vs Tero, I lasted about 20-50 Seconds, in good shape but that was the days when you were taught by real instructors,with real experience. Tero's brother came in 1 day while we training saying "I pity you fools" yes it was "Mr.T" funny guy and strong, miss those days but since retirement don't miss the job just the coppers who i worked with!
God bless all the new young officers who will never have the chance to be "the real police!"

We were protecting you from your own stupidity. We know Wenger and his son are dead. We were around then, we remember it well.
But you obviously don't know what "shades of....." means in a literary sense.
used to suggest reminiscence of or comparison with someone or something specified.
So by using "shades of..." we mean to say there's a definitive link to the behaviors exhibited by Wenger and this latest unfortunate person.
Today, you are King of Asshats.
Not only wasn't there any "torture runs" in 1986 but you won't even required to actually run. Plenty of the fat ass's would walk. Wenger would range out ahead along with the coppers who were actual runners but to call it a torture run is like calling the written tests "torture tests". How tortuous was it for a few guys to yell the answers across the room?
"Torture run"? hahahahaha I love the old guys who act like the job was Legit in '86. 1/2 of the class should have been in booze rehab or sex addiction clinic, most of all the instructors.
Which is why it was so damn fun. But it most certainly wasn't on the up and up.
I stopped Wenger and his son back in 2003 at 3800 W Congress in 011. They were in Wenger's brand new car which was parked by the CHA row houses over there. They were in the back seat and 2 dudes were in the front seat of his car. The only thing in the center console was a crack pipe and some Chore Boy.
"This isn't going to end well."
That's what she said.
