Here’s an article that I grabbed on 9/11 concerning the “Mystery of the Missing Gun” that caused massive upheaval in Harvey.
This is from the Southtown Star:

BY MAURA POSSLEY
A former Harvey police supervisor was sentenced Thursday to three years in
prison for selling a gun, seized by police in a criminal case, back to a
defendant’s family.
A Cook County Circuit Court jury on Aug. 13 convicted Hollis Dorrough Jr., 40,
of Chicago’s Marquette Park neighborhood, of perjury, unlawful sale of a weapon
and official misconduct.
Evidence showed that he removed a semiautomatic pistol from the Harvey police
evidence locker and sold it to the stepfather of felon Anthony T. Reynolds in
late 2005.
The gun was found during an investigation of an October 2005 incident in which
Reynolds, of Harvey, allegedly pointed the gun at two police officers near his
home.
The gun was discovered missing in June 2006, just before Reynolds was to go on
trial for the shooting incident. He was convicted in early 2007.
Dorrough, who was on the Harvey force for 11 years, had contended that he
removed the pistol from police custody on orders from Harvey Mayor Eric Kellogg,
who he said was a friend of Reynolds’ stepfather. Kellogg has not been charged
in the incident and has denied any wrongdoing.
Ed: Of course, Kellogg will maintain he didn’t do anything but NOTHING goes on in that town with him knowing everything and approving it.
