The Lynwood police officer falsely accused last year of being the “Honeybee Killer” filed a federal lawsuit Thursday against Will County Sheriff Paul Kaupas and State’s Attorney James Glasgow, "the TV camera whore".Brian Dorian accuses Kaupas, Glasgow and a Will County detective of false arrest and imprisonment, conspiracy and due process violations. His attorney Gregory Kulis said Dorian was devastated when he learned he would be charged with murder in the case.
Kulis also said Will County officials have a history of rushing to charge criminal cases.
“I don’t believe this arrest, nor these charges, would have taken place in DuPage County, Cook County, Kane County or Lake County,” Kulis said. “But in Will County, they rush to charge, and then they try to find evidence to substantiate those charges.”
A man known as the “Honeybee Killer” went on a two-state shooting spree in October 2010. He approached a group repairing a house near Beecher, asked about honeybees and opened fire. Construction worker Rolando Alonso, 45, died at the scene and Joshua Garza, 19, both of Hammond, Ind., survived shots to the head and stomach.
The shooter then drove his pickup truck to Lake County, Ind., and shot a farmer on the side of the road. Keith Dahl, 64, survived the shots to his left shoulder, arm and elbow.
Gary Amaya, 48, who authorities believe was the real “Honeybee Killer,” was later shot and killed during a hold-up at a tanning salon in Orland Park.
