Top Cop Accused of Copy-Pasting Arrest Reports for Years
Public defenders have raised concerns that Illinois State Police Trooper Kevin Bradley, recognized for his high number of DUI arrests, may have plagiarized portions of his arrest reports. An investigation into nearly 500 reports revealed striking similarities and what appears to be verbatim copying of case details, including incorrect information. This pattern has led to challenges in court, with dozens of drivers claiming innocence and some facing significant personal and professional repercussions. The potential for financial gain through overtime pay for court appearances is also cited as a motive for the alleged misconduct.
