Dixmoor cop facing criminal charges for allegedly manipulating a police lineup, leading to the arrest of a man later cleared of wrongdoing

In bond court Thursday, a lawyer for Villegas, Irena Stefanovski, described him as a father of a 15-year-old and two adult children, including one who is a Chicago police officer. Villegas’ wife offered to post $1,000 for the officer’s release, but Judge Barbara Dawkins said the amount was too low considering the couple also own a restaurant.
