Tuesday a Cook County Judge ruled a Chicago cop was arrested and detained without probable cause in a fatal accident occurring more than two years ago.
In November 2007, off-duty officer John Ardelean allegedly went drinking at a bar before he was involved in a crash where two young men, 22-year-old Miguel Flores and 21-year-old Erick Lagunas were killed. Ardelean's Dodge Durango slammed into the Pontiac Grand Am the men were in.
Ardelean's blood alcohol level was not tested at the scene reportedly because the four officers who responded said they had no reason to suspect drunk driving, but Ardelean was later tested and eventually charged with aggravated DUI and reckless homicide.
The judge's ruling however, has insured for now Ardelean will not likely stand trial in the crash. Prosecutors are reviewing their case.
