CHICAGO POLICE OFFICER PULLED FROM THE STREET FOR FALSIFYING DUI ARRESTS - LAWSUITS SETTLED

Chicago police officer Richard Fiorito had previously been pulled from duty, and now the City of Chicago has settled the final lawsuits surrounding his falsified DUI arrests.  The city has agreed to pay two drivers $100,000 each who filed lawsuits for wrongful and malicious prosecution, in addition to paying $250,000 for each individual's attorney's fees.  The Cook County State's Attorney has also dropped over 130 DUI cases that had been filed with Fiorito as the arresting officer.  The city has refused to admit any wrongdoing though and declined to prosecute Fiorito for any crimes.
