A retired Chicago police officer is being accused of threatening those investigating the death of Fox Lake Police Officer Charles Joseph Gliniewicz. The Lake County Sheriff's Office says a person claiming to be a retired police officer called the coroner's office Friday afternoon and threatened to harm all of the investigators unless they declare Gliniewicz' death a suicide.
Authorities later arrested Joseph Battaglia at his home in Oak Lawn and charged him with disorderly conduct. He is being held at the Lake County Jail on 100-thousand-dollars bond.
