You guys remember this story. The cop that beat the kid in the hallway of the school for not tucking his shirt in. Did you know that he had been fired
from his job before for shotting a guy 24 times in self defense and is now in jail on rape charges from a month ago?
Christopher Lloyd was arrested last month and charged with sexually assaulting a woman he knew at her home in Hammond, his father said.
According to Lake County, Ind., court documents, he held a pillow over the woman's face while sexually assaulting her Sept. 14 and had previously
threatened her with a knife.
Lloyd, who's being held in lieu of $110,000 bail, faces up to 20 years behind bars if convicted of rape, criminal deviate conduct, criminal
confinement and sexual battery, said Diane Poulton, spokeswoman for Lake County's prosecutor.
A lawsuit filed by his ex-wife, Nicole McKinney, last summer alleges he gunned down her new husband Cornel McKinney in front of their children
outside their home on Feb. 17, 2008.
A Robbins police officer at the time, Lloyd was suspended after the shooting but eventually found work with Dolton police in January, his father
said.
Though an autopsy shows he shot McKinney 24 times, the lawsuit alleges, he was not charged because Chicago police accepted his explanation that he had
acted in self-defense.
Chicago police spokesman Veejay Zala said details of the investigation into McKinney's death could not immediately be found Thursday, but
McKinney's attorney, Rahsaan Gordon, said the latest series of allegations against Lloyd showed he shouldn't have been employed as a police
officer.
"At some point, people in positions of power need to protect the public," Gordon said. "You have to ask why he was hired."
Why is it they can find out AFTER the fact that this guy should have never been hired as a police officer in the first place? How does he end up in a
SCHOOL, of all places, to beat on kids without an exhaustive background check?
