Harvey, Illinois: Ex-Harvey detective indicted on additional charges
From the DailySouthtown.com, October 7, 2006. By Lauren FitzPatrick - Staff writer
Additional charges were announced Friday for a former Harvey police detective accused of selling a gun seized as evidence to a convicted felon.
Whether that weapon was used in an April murder at a South Holland car wash or any other unsolved Harvey murders will be determined by ballistics tests.
Originally charged with a single count of official misconduct, Hollis Dorrough Jr., a Harvey policeman for 11 years, now faces nine felony charges of perjury, obstruction of justice and the unlawful sale of a firearm, according to his indictment announced Friday in Cook County Circuit Court in Markham.
Dorrough is accused of selling a .45-caliber Remington handgun back to Anthony T. Reynolds, a Harvey felon who had pulled the gun on another Harvey officer Oct. 18.
Sources told the Daily Southtown that Harvey Mayor Eric J. Kellogg gave Dorrough the order to "help with the case and return property" to Reynolds' stepfather, whom the mayor has known for years.
Kellogg has denied any involvement and has not been charged with any crime.
The detective, who then was in charge of evidence at Harvey, set up a meeting with Reynolds' stepfather to hand the weapon back to Reynolds a few days after his arrest, prosecutors said.
Dorrough failed to show up for several of Reynolds' subsequent court hearings.
The weapon turned up in late September, handed over to Robbins police, who gave it to the Illinois State Police public integrity task force. Pending ballistics testing will indicate whether it was used in any other crimes, including the April fatal shooting of Martell C. Edwards at a South Holland car wash just over the Harvey border.
Reynolds also is charged in that murder, which is pending along with his gun case before Cook County Circuit Judge Reginald Baker in the courthouse in Markham. He has pleaded innocent in both cases.
Dorrough, a married father of four living in Chicago's Marquette Park community, resigned from his job after his arrest and is free on $40,000 bail.
While on duty, he was awarded citations for exemplary police work. He has no criminal background.
