Officers Richard Doroniuk, 30, and Mahmoud “Mike” Shamah, 27, were arrested Wednesday and charged with conspiring with a drug dealer to steal $31,100 that authorities said the officers mistakenly believed belonged to another dealer.
Prosecutors said the money had been planted in self-storage lockers as part of a sting by FBI agents and Chicago police internal affairs investigators. The officers used information from a third defendant, Larry “Peanut” Cross, 55, to obtain search warrants for the lockers
The officers failed to report any of the money seized from a locker in June and only part of the cash taken in a second theft in August, according to documents filed with the criminal complaint.
They took the money believing they were ripping off a drug dealer.
