NEWS-SUN STAFF REPORT
A bond reduction has again been rejected for the former Waukegan police officer accused of raping a woman while on duty.
Earlier this week, the Second Judicial District Appellate Court in Elgin denied a request by the attorney for Delatwon Haynes to lower his $2 million bond.
The one-paragraph ruling submitted to Lake County courts Wednesday simply said the motion to reduce bond was denied.
Haynes
Haynes' attorney Joel Brodsky filed the motion with the appellate court after a bond reduction was denied in Lake County court.
In his appeal, Brodsky cited Haynes' clean record and his role as sole provider for his family.
Haynes, 32, of Zion was arrested in late June following allegations that he groped and assaulted a Waukegan woman in a vacant Lewis Avenue parking lot, while working the midnight shift in January.
Haynes resigned from the department days after the allegations surfaced and has since pleaded not guilty to four counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault, one count of aggravated kidnapping, two counts of aggravated sexual abuse and eight counts of misconduct.
