CHICAGO (Sun-Times Media Wire) - Two days after his partner apparently hanged himself in a downtown federal jail cell, an allegedly corrupt Cook County sheriff's police officer was released on bond Wednesday by a judge who said he was “very concerned” about the officer's mental health.

Robert Vaughan, 44, allegedly conspired with his former partner Stanley M. Kogut, 45, to commit robberies of marijuana, contraband cigarettes and cash, the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting.
