MOKENA (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - The trial continues Thursday in Will County for a sheriff’s deputy accused of disorderly conduct in a Mokena Catholic school last year.
Edward Goewey, while off-duty as a Will County sheriff’s deputy, is accused of going without permission to the second floor classroom area of St. Mary’s Catholic School in Mokena last year.
According to the Daily Southtown, his lawyer said in opening statements that Goewey wanted to work with school officials to have a student removed from class for allegedly making a threat against the school a couple of days earlier.
A prosecutor said Goewey went upstairs to forcibly remove the student, something Goewey did not end up doing. A school secretary testified Wednesday that Goewey was acting erratically and was out-of-control, but, after police were called and showed up, he calmed down and left. The secretary said the school principal had handled the earlier alleged threat but had not called police about it.
