Two rogue police officers are in court this coming week.
Individuals willing to do be courtwatchers are encouraged to attend.
Ryan Garrett, who is charged with official misconduct, will be in court for a preliminary hearing on Wednesday, August 23 at 11 am in courtroom B. He will appear before Judge Difanis.
Garrett is charged with threatening his estranged wife’s boyfriend with the comment, “Watch your back. I’m a cop.” In another incident, Garrett called a fellow police officer to do a DUI on Garrett’s wife, who it was found was not drunk.
William Alan Myers, who is charged with aggravated battery and obstruction of justice, is expected to enter a plea bargain on Friday, August 25 at 1:30 pm in courtroom B. He will also appear before Judge Difanis.
Myers is charged with tasing an inmate in the Champaign County Satellite Jail and lying about the incident to his superiors.
Both Garrett and Myers are Sherriff’s deputies, and incidentally they are both represented by Urbana attorney Tony Novak.
See you at the courthouse.
