Former Chicago Police Chief Earl Mayo has been arrested in Ohio facing multiple felonies including theft, official misconduct, and obstruction of justice after allegedly selling confiscated firearms to a pawn shop. Fired just days before his arrest, the case has been handed over to Indiana State Police and federal authorities to ensure impartiality — especially given Mayo’s stepfather’s high-ranking role in the agency. His defense claims he was instructed to store weapons at his home due to the town’s temporary school relocation and his passion for gun collecting, but prosecutors deny any such permission, stressing the importance of evidence chain of custody. Mayo also faces charges for anabolic steroids, with co-defendant Taneka Borders charged for assisting him. His next court date is June ninth.
