Fox Lake Suspends Detective, Two Officers In Wake Of Detainee Beating

(CBS) -- One Fox Lake Police Department detective and two officers have been suspended, and a third officer is under investigation over a brutality investigation, CBS 2 has learned.

The disciplinary actions stem from the alleged beating of an arrestee in December 2014. Some have said there had been a cover-up of the incident.

The beating was caught on camera. The video was expected to be released Friday.

Fox Lake has been in the news recently for the September suicide of police Lt. Charles "G.I. Joe" Gliniewicz, who staged his death to appear like murder. Gliniewicz had been stealing money from a youth program, authorities say.
