Chicago Streets and Sanitation Tow Driver Indicted in Alleged Car‑Theft Scheme

Prosecutors say he exploited on-duty access to vehicle data to aid thieves for pay.

Overview

  • The Cook County indictment filed last month alleges he conspired with two others to steal three vehicles between December 2022 and February 2023.
  • He is charged with one count of aggravated possession of a stolen motor vehicle, three counts of vehicle theft conspiracy, four counts of official misconduct, and three counts of conspiracy to commit theft.
  • Prosecutors allege he shared on-duty vehicle locations and registration information with thieves and accepted payment at least once.
  • Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul announced the case on Thursday and called the conduct an egregious breach of public trust.
  • CBS News reported that Solomon pleaded guilty on Wednesday, while court records show prosecutors did not seek detention and list a March 12 return date.
