just saw this on slate.


It was with significantly less fanfare on Nov. 24 that the mayor of Hammond announced he'd reinstated the officers to regular duty because they'd been "cleared" by an FBI investigation—only for the FBI to respond that it had done no such thing. From NWI.com:


"The matter is still under investigation," said Bob Ramsey, FBI Supervisory Special Agent with the Merrillville office of the law enforcement agency. He declined to put a timeline on the completion of the examination.

One of the Hammond officers involved, Patrick Vicari, has previously been named as a defendent in five other lawsuits alleging inappropriate behavior. One was dismissed, one is pending, and the three others were settled out of court for a total of $181,850.
