An FBI sting has caught 10 Cook County sheriff's correctional officers, four Harvey police officers and a Chicago police officer accused of running security for what they thought were major drug deals but were actually parts of the sting operation. Officers received as much as $4,000 per incident and were willing to intervene if other law enforcement officials stepped in.

An undercover agent acting as a drug dealer allegedly paid 16 of the defendants some $44,000 during the course of the investigation. In once incident, corrections officers Ahyetoro Taylor and Raphael Manuel met the undercover agent at the DuPage Airport, where they allegedly helped count what they believed were 80 kilograms of cocaine. The officers each were paid $4,000 for helping with the shipment. more ›
