A Chicago police supervisor retired while facing demotion for failing to respond to the scene of a fatal crash involving an off-duty cop earlier this month in River North, the Sun-Times has learned.
Street Deputy Frederick Melean was charged with overseeing the response to the collision early Dec. 8 in the 300 block of North State Street, where an officer had veered onto a sidewalk near the House of Blues after dropping her phone and taking her eyes off the road, according to a police report.
