CITATIONS "SERVICE ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY"

DETECT-IVE W.BEASLEY

Detective William H. Beasley awarded a Class "B" Citation for meritorious duty under the following circumstances:

On February 28, 1974, Detective William Beasley and Patrolman Gary Moe, along with numerous other officers, responded to a dispatch of "F.B.I. Agent shot - suspect fleeing the scene on foot."

Upon arrival, the officers learned that one Jacob Peter Cohen, who was being sought for the murder of two Chicago police officers, had taken refuge in the residence of 2506 N. T~rrace Street and that he was holding four children as hostage. In the ensuing minutes, Cohen released three of the children and demanded a getaway car and a driver. An F.B.I. Agent agreed to be the driver of the getaway car and proceeded to back the auto into the driveway of the residence.

The wanted felon then emerged from the residence holding 14-year-old Danny Brady as hostage. Cohen held Danny around the neck with his left hand and menacingly held a cocked revolver to the boy's head with his right hand. The barrel of the revolver was

8 behind the boy's ear.

At this time, Detective Beasley engaged Cohen in conversation in the immediate presence of Patrolman Gary Moe and attempted to persuade him to give himself up and release the boy hostage. The felon replied that he had killed two coppers in Chicago already; that he didn't care how many more he killed; and that he would do so to anyone who got in his way.

Undeterred by these comments, Detective Beasley continued to keep Cohen's attention while an F.B.I. Agent was boosted onto a garage roof within view of the getaway car parked in the driveway. At said time, the F.B.I. Agent was unable to fire at Cohen for fear of striking the boy hostage; however, Cohen then leaned forward to look into the back seat of the getaway car, and he placed the boy hostage below the roof of the auto and out of the Agent's line of fire.

Detective Beasley then nodded to the Agent, who opened fire and struck the felon in the shoulder area. Simultaneously, the boy hostage fell forward and crawled under the auto.

Cohen theri pointed his weapon in the direction of Detective Beasley and Patrolman Moe, and the former officer opened fire with his service revolver. During the subsequent exchange of gunfire between Cohen and numerous officers at the scene, Detective Beasley sustained a gunshot wound in hi~ right leg, and while he lay on the ground wounded, Patrolman Moe also directed gunfire at Cohen from a close, exposed position. At the time, Cohen was also laying on the ground wounded, but he was still in possession of his firearm which he had in firing position. The felon then succumbed to

gunshot wounds, and Patrolman Moe promptly went to the assistance of Detective Beasley, administered first aid, and caused a police ambulance to be summoned.

***

PATROLMAN A. WILKE

Patrolman Alan P. Wilke awarded a Class "C" Citation for meritorious duty under the following circumstances:

On April 9, 1974, at 10:15 P.M., while on an undercover assignment, Patrolman Wilke entered his private car which was parked in front of 2805 W. North Avenue. Simultaneously, the car door was pulled open by a man who pointed a revolver at the officer, cocked the weapon, and ordered the officer to slide over to the front passenger seat.

Upon entering the auto, the armed subject ordered Patrolman Wilke to slide back to the driver's seat, and he climbed into the front passenger seat. At this time, the subject pointed the cocked revolver at Patrolman Wilke's chest and demanded money; whereupon Patrolman Wilke handed the

CITATIONS "SERVICE ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY"

subject his wallet as well as loose change from his pocket. The subject then demanded more money while continuing to train the revolver at Patrolman Wilke's chest. Fearing for his personal safety, Patrolman Wilke quickly grabbed the subject's revolver with his left hand, forcing it in the dir~ction · of the dashboard, and with his right hand, he reached under the seat, grabbed his weapon and shot the suspect twice.

The subject was subsequently pronounced DOE at County General Hospital and found to be a known felon from Detroit, Michigan with a long police record. His weapon was found to be a loaded .22 caliber magnum revolver.

***

PATROLMAN PATROLMAN R.BOYLE J.RYAN

Patrolman Robert ]. Boyle and Patrolman john D . Ryan awarded a Class "D" Citation for their actions under the following circumstances:

On December 21 , 1973, at . 10:45 A.M., Patrolman Robert Boyle observed an auto travelling the wrong way in a one-way alley at

N. 13th and W. Vliet Streets. The motorist was stopped and advised of the traffic violation, and he indicated that he had no driver's license. He refused to answer when asked his name, and he refused to step out of the auto.

Patrolman Boyle then summoned his partner, Patrolman John Ryan, to assist, and Patrolman Ryan also requested the driver to produce identification and to step out of the car. When he refused both requests and began rolling up the car window, Patrolman Ryan opened the car door. At this time, the subject produced a .38 caliber revolver, which he had concealed under a rag on the glove compartment console, and pointed same at Patrolman Ryan, stating, "Get away from the car or I'll kill you!"

Both officers immediately backed off, drew their service revolvers and ordered the subject to drop the gun sev{!ral times. When the subject failed to comply with this repeated demand and proceeded to point his revolver in the direction of Patrolman Boyle, both officers opened fire, striking the subject twice. The man was then disarmed and taken into custody.

*** Patrolman Rosario]. Collura, Patrolman john H. Eberhardy, Patrolman James D. Eccel, Patrolman Michael K. Jourdan, Patrolman David M. Leist and Patrolman Richard B. Tarczynski awarded· a Class "D" Citation for meritorious duty under the following circumstances:

On June 25, 1973, at 10:35 P.M., squads were

dispatched to investigate a disturbance at the Shell Service Station, N. 3rd and W. Center Streets. Upon arrival, the officers learned that a man, later identified as Warren Pettis, had 9

CITATIONS "SERVICE ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY"

attacked the station attendant without provocation. As the officers approached Mr. Pettis, he wrapped a belt around his hand with the buckle end free, and began to yell profane epithets at the officers; whereupon, he was disarmed and placed under, arrest,

At this time, a crowd began to gather in the area and sensing that these persons were becoming increasingly hostile, the officers quickly placed Mr. Pettis in the patrol wagon for conveyance to the Fifth District Station. Knowing the violent nature of Mr. Pettis from previous contacts, Patrolman· Rosario Collura requested a superior officer to alert other personnel to stand by in the Fifth District Station garage to render assistan.ce if necessary.

Upon arrival at the station, Mr. Pettis was violently kicking the sides of the wagon and shouting threats and profanities at the officers. Patrolman Collura then opened the rear door of the wagon, observed that Mr. Pettis had ripped off most of his clothing, and requested the prisoner to exit the wagon. Mr. Pettis refused, and Patrolman Collura entered the wagon to escort the prisoner out, at which time he struck Patrolman Collura on the side of the head with his fist, causing Patrolman Collura to fall backwards.

A violent s.truggle then ensued, primarily involving Patrolmen Collura, David Leist, and Michael Jourdan, and the obviously deranged prisoner succeeded in obtaining one officer's service revolver which he began firing. In rapid succession, Patrolman Jourdan sustained a gunshot wound to his right arm; Patrolman Collura to his right leg; Patrolman Richard Tarcynski (who was moving towards the affray to assist) to his right leg; and Patrolman

10 Leist to his left arm.

Responding to the sound of gunshots, Patrolmen John Eberhardy and James Eccel then entered the station garage. Upon observing Patrolman Tarczynski lying on the garage floor still in the line of fire and bleeding profusely, Patrolman Eberhardy ran to the fallen officer and dragged him to a place of safety behind a parked car. He then applied a tourniquet to stop the flow of blood from Patrolman Tarczynski's wound.

In the meantime, Patrolman Eccel drew his service revolver, exposed himself to gunfire from Mr. Pettis, who continued to struggle with Patrolman Leist, and fired two shots at the deranged subject. The prisoner and Patrolman Leist then fell to the floor, but the struggle continued, at which time Patrolman Collura (who was lying on the floor wounded), fired one shot from his service revolver, striking Mr. Pettis in the side. This culminated the action, and the subject was subsequently pronounced dead at County General Hospital and was found to have sustained three gunshot wounds.

Agent agreed to be the driver of the getaway car and proceeded to back the auto into the driveway of the residence .

The wanted felon then emerged from the residence holding 14-year-old Danny Brady as hostage. Cohen held Danny around the neck with his left hand and menacingly held a cocked revolver to the boy's head with his right hand. The barrel of the revolver was behind the boy's ear.

At this time, Detective Beasley engaged Cohen in conversation in the immediate presence of Patrolman Gary Moe and attempted to persuade him to give himself up and release the boy hostage. The felon replied that he had killed two coppers in Chicago already; that he didn't care how many more he killed; and that he would do so to anyone who got in his way.

Undeterred by these comments, Detective Beasley continued to keep Cohen's attention while an F.B.I. Agent was boosted onto a garage roof within view of the getaway car parked in the driveway. At said time, the F.B.I. Agent was unable to fire at Cohen for fear of striking the boy hostage; however, Cohen then leaned forward to look into the

back seat of the getaway car, and he placed the boy hostage below the roof of the auto and out of the Agent's line of fire.
