Attorney General Kwame Raoul announced charges against two Chicago police officers and a former Cook County assistant state’s attorney over their alleged participation in a scheme to fraudulently collect more than $100,000 in overtime benefits. Police officers Jason Arroyo, 40, and Edis Skrgic, 35, both of Chicago, and former Assistant State’s Attorney Ashley Moore, 46, of McCall, Idaho, were arraigned in Cook County Circuit Court. Each defendant is charged with two counts of theft of governmental property over $100,000, Class X felonies punishable by up to 30 years in prison, and two counts of official misconduct, Class 3 felonies punishable by up to five years in prison. Moore was also charged with an additional count of official misconduct, a Class 3 felony punishable by up to five years in prison, and one count of obstructing justice, a Class 4 felony punishable by up to three years in prison. Sentences are ultimately determined by the court. All three defendants pleaded not guilty, and their next court date is scheduled for Sept. 17. The Attorney General’s office alleges that on more than 100 occasions, Moore notified Arroyo and Skrgic to appear at the state’s attorney’s office, allegedly to listen to prisoner phone calls on cases Moore was involved in prosecuting on behalf of the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office. In total, Arroyo and Skrgic are alleged to have collected more than $100,000 in fraudulent overtime. Deputy Bureau Chief Jonathan McKay and Supervising Attorney Daniel Weiler are prosecuting the case for Raoul’s Criminal Prosecutions and Trials Assistance Bureau.
