THE WEEK, Page 24SOCIETYRight from the Crime Fund Coffers
Motown's erstwhile top cop gets caught with his hand in the till
When the police chief in a city as violence plagued as
Detroit pilfers megabucks from a crime-fighting fund, no judge is
likely to be lenient. Last week former police chief William Hart
was convicted of stealing $2.6 million dollars from his
department, in part to procure lavish gifts for his three
mistresses. More money bankrolled a $1,000-a-week lottery habit
and renovations on a Candadian vacation cottage. During the TV
movie-like trial, an ex-police officer reported seeing $20,000
fall out of a cracked ceiling in Hart's house. The former
chief's escapades could land him a 26-year prison sentence.
