“A suburban Chicago police officer has been charged with robbing and extorting targets of investigations into the sale of illegal cigarettes. Jimmy J. Rodgers is a Lyons police officer who was assigned to a Food and Drug Administration task force. Authorities say Rodgers gave an informant contraband cigarettes to sell to targets of the investigation. They say Rodgers let the informant keep some of the cash he received from the targets, but kept the rest of the money for himself. They say police seized the cigarettes from the targets after the transactions.”
