The Other Shoe Drops
- A former Chicago police officer was sentenced Wednesday to almost 6 years in prison after being convicted earlier of fraudulently obtaining search warrants and stealing cash and drugs from places he was searching, officials said.
U. S. Judge Matthew F. Kennelly handed out a 71-month sentence to David Salgado after a hearing in Chicago. Last month, Salgado’s former partner was sentenced to seven years and three months, officials said.
Salgado, 39, and Elizondo, 48, both of Chicago, were assigned to a gang team in the Tenth District conspired to produce false information to state judges in order to get search warrants to enter properties to seize cash and drugs, officials said.
Someone said these two used to write search warrants for some other teams, too. Teams that ended up producing a few of the current command staff.
Is this the end of one scandal or the beginning of another? It might explain the gutting of certain Homan Square units.

Were these the "steakhouse" search warrants?
Or was that another rogue team?
10 has had a several incident over the years— anyone remember that one Cop who had less that 2, he got wrapped up in a lawsuit for hitting a citizen (D) in the face with a baton and then he faced felony charges. What ever happened to him- I think his name was Khan or something like that. He Got wrapped up tight.. water tight!
6 years isn’t long enough in my opinion.
And X deserved longer as well.
You have both tarnished our uniform, and disrespected all of us past, present, and future- in particular those who we have buried that gave the ultimate sacrifice. We have buried people for that uniform and what it represents.
You were both selfish and shit all over everything honorable that most of us use as a compass every single day.
Throw away the key on both of them as far as I’m concerned.
Should have been twice as long
Just sickening. They became criminals.
So long loser. Thanks for giving the liberal left mob more fuel.
I am surprised neither of them made Lieutenant with their imaginative policing methods.
Two punk jagoffs!. Tac guy for a logtime . Never a thief. Bye
Traitors to the Star. Don't expect Pity from me.
To bad they aren't Politician or rich pederast's tho. Then they could bring their golf clubs.
Producing false information to obtain warrants. Hmmmm, where have I heard this before? Our illustrious FBI, maybe? Bet we don't see any 6-7 year prison sentences there. Or indictments.

Well, where else could they be from, idiot? They aren't CTU members. Can't live in Highland Park.
Some are saying this is the tip of the iceberg, when you see the elimination of certain units things to make you say ahh! Do you know this guy is going to talk as he should open the other assholes that are involved get their ass is locked up enough is enough and if you’re a criminal like he is fuck You to!
It's a good thing they didn't cash Government checks, that they weren't entitled to!
And what happened to that pig judge Mauricio Araujo who would sign off on these warrants while he was having dinner. Same judge who also sexually harrassed female staff in courthouses and elevators.
Sounds like crap SOS was doing!!!!
They got what they deserved.
"What a clever idea" !!! Get search warrants to enter premises, then seize contraband, and cash. Inventory small portion of items seized, arrest and charge the inhabitants with the products inventoried. What could go wrong with that ?
News Flash for anyone committing or planning to commit criminal activity. It's all been done before, and it does not end well.
In my era, if you were honest, and blessed to receive a pension for twenty years, you reaped more, than any of these scams every produced.

both wrong. The Feds used false info for search warrants, surveillance and wiretaps for political reasons. The cops used this to make money for themselves.
Let’s start some clocks on how long since:
We find out what’s really involved in the Johnson saga
When will we hear about the redline escalator shooter
Who sent the police to Rush’s office, proving they really didn’t do anything wrong
Grout only pushes the buttons that she wants pushed
Thank goodness she got the FU finger guy. That’s important.
Should have been 60 years. The public has a right to expect that police officers are honest. These fucks, and I've known more than my share, deserve nothing less than hard prison time. People generalize, and you can't expect John Q. to hold the police in esteem when you have shitheads like these guys.
ISP Major for the Northern Region was relieved of duties pending criminal charges surrounding official misconduct claims that he fixed DUI arrests for friends.

How many trained police officers die every year doing traffic stops?
Now imagine an untrained, unarmed road worker doing the same?
He/She will be lucky if they just get laughed at.
This will last until the first hopefully only just a beating, and not a death.

Will they have the same no chase policy? Can I refuse to roll down the window and not show my ID while simultaneously shoving my cellphone in their face asking THEIR NAME and STAR # and bitchin "WHAT THE YOU STOP ME FOR" and mumble about "real crime" and "go catch the bad guys" cause this is bogus and/or bullshit. The lunacy of it all, wait till one of joe q public gets offended, feeling disrespected with nothing to lose and loses it when public shows how they really act.
Remember, the big Marquette Ten Federal Investigation only indicted patrol officers. No one ever asked Prosecutor Webb why the Investigation never went higher. Some field supervisors from 010 later achieved Exempt Ranks.
Pay cops shit for years of doing a thankless job. It will just get worse with current logic, Cops are human & instinctively protect themselves. Everyone needs their Ends.

Stop it. You aren't the police, get off the site. Any genius would know it is tact not tac. I'll let the logtime slide figuring it was a typo.
Another merit Sgt success story. Merit rules man!
The law works in mysterious ways in CookmCounty. States Attorney not doing her job or circumvents IL Compiled Statutes, County Board president reports her vehicle stolen that was doing campaign work for States Atty and a Judge, ain’t no crime there.

Larri is on board with that nutty notion.
You’re gonna need a warrant for a traffic stop.
I gotta guy.

So true. You won't see Comey or McCabe serve a day. Not that these two didn't deserve what they received.
I agree with an earlier poster. I'm surprised it wasn't longer...
Pension adios !!!

What's wrong with that? If they can issue parking tickets and direct traffic they can issue citations for traffic citations.
Going to say it. Guy was a classic criminal idiot. Get a warrant to commit a crime. Then file paperwork saying you did it dummy. Here's your sign.

If they were democratic politicians, their shenanigans would be a resume enhancer. If republican, they’d be looking at the electric chair.

In his filing, Sheppard asked U.S. District Judge Robert Dow to reconsider a ruling that required Nesbitt to give the names of former employees and clients she’d like to contact to prosecutors. He wrote that Nesbitt has about 9,000 former clients and hundreds of former employees.
Get ready for the divorce! Hope your name not on that list?

If they don’t answer for their crimes there is only one box left for the people to use, the soap box and ballot box would have failed.
They did the crime and now they must do the time. I get it. What I don't get is how someone can knowingly cash checks that don't belong to him, which are paid by taxpayers, yet only get probation and fine? That was something that could be proven was done for many years. Why didn't the feds charge that guy? Both are wrong incidents but I'd rather have criminals be robbed than taxpayers

Hey dumb ass before you write some bullshit like this get your facts straight, those PO's were convicted on hear say, there was never any concrete evidence product in court only the word of the drug dealers. Those guys were used to feather Dan Webb's cap. No supervisor's from Ten were promoted from this incident to exempt rank as a matter of fact the commander of ten was Tom Hughes who attended the trial of these guy and who later was dumb to a watch commander I believe it was either 15 or 12 so get your facts straight and I know because I work in 10 at the time and knew each and everyone of the guys from 10. They all worked second jobs so if they were stealing drugs and money they didn't need too and they had no hidden band accounts and no bank rolls. So fuck off with your bullshit
Didn’t Salgado work at a bank prior to getting on the job? If so I hope no accounts were ever compromised.
They will be out in 2 years with good behavior and the Corona makes it less time they'll serve.
