Trial date set for former Thebes police officer

A former Thebes, Ill., police officer facing misconduct charges for allegedly releasing a person from custody in exchange for sexual favors will stand trial at the Alexander County Courthouse in Cairo on Jan. 24, according to online court records. Terry Crowe, 39, of Mounds, Ill., was arrested in July by the Illinois State Police and charged with two counts of official misconduct. He was under investigation for a year before his arrest. Thebes mayor and acting police chief John Kennedy suspended Crowe during the investigation. Crowe resigned a week after his suspension. Crowe will be in court for a pretrial hearing Tuesday.
