2 Chicago Police Veterans Fired for Inappropriate Conduct

Posted on Wednesday, January 28th, 2009 at 9:01 am    

Karen Oaks, a 12-year-veteran, and Larry Guy Jr, a 14-year-veteran, are fired by the Police Board for two, separate counts of improper conduct.

Oaks is accused of having an relationship with Michael Meyers, a 4-time convicted felon, and leaking information regarding a narcotics bust authorities were planning against him.  Fellow officers of Oaks claimed by sharing this information they had to halt the investigation.

Oaks admitted to visiting Meyers in jail, but denies sharing any information.  She denies knowing anything about the undercover narcotics investigation.

Guy was accused of beating a shoplifter in a Target store.  After responding to a call, Guy handcuffed the suspect, and asked if he had anything in his pockets.  The suspect replied, “No,” and Guy reached in to the pocket and cut himself with a razorblade found within it.

Guy hit the suspect repeatedly, and asked Target managers to throw out the security cameras.

Hundreds Fall Ill from Salmonella in Peanut Butter

Posted on Tuesday, January 13th, 2009 at 8:01 am    


King Nut Companies, a nationwide distributor that has been around for more than 75 years, has recently called a product recall on its peanut butter.  Best known for this, and its gourmet nuts and snacks, a 5 lb tub of creamy peanut butter has just been tested positive for salmonella bacteria. 

King Nut brands are primarily used in hospitals, elementary schools and restaurants.  Several residents from a senior care center fell ill after consuming the peanut butter, and an opened container from the facility also tested positive for a strain of salmonella typhimurium, which causes nausea, vomiting and abdominal pains.

Although it has not been proven this case is linked to the outbreak occurring in the United States, there are strong correlations.  Further tests will be conducted.

If you or someone you know has suffered an illness from a product recall, it is highly recommended you contact a personal injury lawyer at 800-242-2874 to receive compensation for your struggles.
