The second of two Peoria
Police officers, indicted last year for their role in the investigation of an
accident, was sentenced Friday. Former Patrol Sergeant Richard Glover, who
pleaded guilty to attempted obstruction of justice was given two years probation.
He and former Vice officer John Couve were each charged in connection with the
probe of a July 2012 accident. Police reports show an unmarked car, assigned to
Couve, was involved in a crash on North Hale, causing a large power outage.
Glover was the first officer to respond and wrote the accident report which
allegedly claimed the vehicle had been stolen. Couve retired earlier this year
and was sentenced to 90 days in jail.
