Ted Plevritis, of Palatine, is charged in an Edison Park hit-and-run crash that killed retired Chicago cop Richard 'Rick' Haljean, police said.
The neighborhood is quite residential, but being just off Harlem and so close to Interstate 294, those who live nearby said that stretch of Touhy is quite dangerous and has seen a handful of accidents just over the last year, as vehicles speed through the area.
Alderman Anthony Napolitano said he has petitioned the city to add speed cameras in the area or anything that can help make the area safer.CPD spokesman Tom Ahern said Haljean was a retired member of the police department who lived in the area. He served more than 30 years on the force.He was also a Marine and father of three.
"I can remember when he was interested in getting a job in law enforcement, and then when the Chicago police job was offered to him he was very excited, and I think he considered it his dream job," Brown said.He added that Haljean loved to catch up on old times and he was recently dealing with some health issues.
