Chicago DUI lawyer is surprised that another Chicago cop is charged with a fatal Chicago DUI

Unfortunately, a little boy has died after being hit by a car.  Even worse, that car was driven by a Chicago Police Officer who has been charged with a aggravated DUI as well as leaving the scene of an accident involving personal injury or death.  This is the second Chicago Police Officer charged with a DUI involving a fatality this year.

Bail was set at $2 million today for a 17-year-veteran Chicago Police officer accused of being drunk behind the wheel while causing a fatal hit-and-run accident that killed a 13-year-old boy on the South Side Friday.

Richard Bolling, 39, was charged with aggravated driving under the influence, leaving the scene of an accident where a death or injury occurred and reckless homicide. Bolling allegedly had been at a bar not long before the crash, said Sally Daly, a Cook County sheriff’s office spokeswoman said.

I will say what I said before, "Let's be careful out there".
