Former Cop Gets Waiver After Pigeon Incident

A former Chicago cop, Chuck Trendle, is cleared to return to law enforcement in Arizona after a 25-year-old incident involving a neighbor dispute over pigeons — which led to a 20-day suspension but no arrest — now gets a waiver from AZPOST. Trendle argued the original investigation was flawed and he didn’t know he could appeal. The board voted to approve his waiver, though two members opposed it. Meanwhile, AZPOST is investigating a former officer accused of sexual contact with a minor, disciplining three others for misconduct, and denying certification to two academy trainees — one for lying about tardiness, another for fleeing after being caught urinating in a parking lot.
