The police claimed that “the fraudulent Facebook pages placed comments in the village of Orland Park Park Social Media sites, while they also applied for friendship requests from the police of Orland Park and other citizens, whereby the resemblance of deputy head of the Brian West police was depicted – and said both disorderly behavior and false people, both crimes.
West was given permission from his boss to start a criminal investigation, which soon turns into sales that popped up a name: retired Orland Park sergeant Ken Kovac, who had left the department in 2019 after two decades of service. Kovac was sued and he surrendered to the Orland Park police on April 7, 2024.
The police then issued their press release and announced their community that West had witnessed sound Like any form of crime. They also wanted to let concerned citizens know that West “embodies the principles of public services” and that “vice -chef West's fear was treated with the greatest seriousness and underwent a thorough investigation.”
Okay.
Despite the “biggest seriousness” of this very serious investigation, a judge had nothing of it. In January 2025, Cook County judge Mohammad Ahmad threw away both charges against Kovac.
Kovac was of course excited. His lawyer said to a local patch reporter: “These charges should never have been established. Ken Kovac made a Facebook account that had fun at the deputy head of the Orland Park police. The deputy chef did not like it and tried to use the criminal system to be right.”
However, Orland Park did not deteriorate and, however, blamed the prosecutors for the loss. “Despite the compelling evidence in the case, the office of the Cook County State was unable to secure a prosecution, which means that the responsibility to protect deputy Chef West as the victim of these malignant deeds,” said Patch Village Manager. “The village of Orland Park is deeply disappointed by this outcome and is unwavering in its support for the former deputy Chef West.”
The drama took his most recent, fully predictable, turned this week when Kovac sued the officials who had arrested him. He told the Chicago Sun-Times that he was ashamed of becoming fingerprints and processed “on the police where I was previously in operation by people I worked and for.”
Orland Park told the newspaper that “because of its actions and that of its employees, it remains and remains convinced that they were appropriate and fully in line with the law.”
