Former reserve officer accuses police chief, officers of wrongdoing

A former Glencoe Police Department reserve officer publicly accused Police Chief Jim Raiter and unnamed officers on the department of crimes against the man and his family.
During the public comment portion of Tuesday's Sept. 4 city council meeting, Glencoe resident Thomas Hedin accused Raiter and other Glencoe Police Department officers of violating state statute regarding stalking and the “manufacturing of evidence.”
Hedin provided no details explaining the alleged crimes, or details of the alleged stalking and manufacturing of evidence by Glencoe Police officers in his brief presentation. He declined a request to provide those details, saying he had been asked not to discuss them publicly. Hedin also declined a request to identify where the request not to discuss the details supporting his allegations against the chief and officers came from.
