The Police Board decided to fire Officer Thomas Sherry Thursday for his alleged actions in the disgraced Special Operations Section, a specialized unit that was disbanded when some of its officers committed home invasions and robberies in the 2000s.
A Chicago police officer was fired late Thursday for his role 18 years ago in one of the biggest scandals in department history.dismiss Officer Thomas Sherry in a five to one decision for his alleged actions in the disgraced Special Operations Section, a specialized unit that was disbanded when some of its officers committed home invasions and robberies in the 2000s.
In March 2021, U.S. District Judge John Z. Lee dismissed Sherry’s lawsuit on the grounds that Sherry waited too long to file such a suit against city officials. But in the filing to the police board, his lawyers noted that the board has been asked repeatedly to decide on disciplinary cases that were “long-delayed by CPD without explanation.”
The charges against Sherry and a second officer were dropped in 2009 after evidence emerged that victims had misidentified them. Sherry was then placed on paid desk duty. But Sherry’s 2018 lawsuit alleged that investigators from the department’s Bureau of Internal Affairs never tried to interrogate him during the intervening five years.He alleged he had never been told in writing “of any allegations of misconduct against him relating to his 2006 arrest,” the lawsuit said.
