Former Thebes police officer trial set for February

CAIRO, Ill. -- A former Thebes, Ill., police officer facing misconduct charges will stand trial at the Alexander County Courthouse in Cairo on Feb. 21, according to online court records.

Terry Crowe, 39, of Mounds, Ill., was arrested in July by the Illinois State Police and charged with two counts of official misconduct for allegedly releasing a person from custody in exchange for sexual favors. He was under investigation for a year before his arrest. Thebes mayor and acting police chief John Kennedy suspended Crowe during the investigation. Crowe resigned a week after his suspension. Crowe will be in court for a pretrial hearing Feb 7.
