Northfield Fire Rescue news

Excerpts from the DailyHerald.com:

A former part-time firefighter who authorities say placed a video recorder in a shower at the Northfield fire station pleaded guilty to the charges, court records show.

Edward T. Panicko, 59, of Arlington Heights, was sentenced on Wednesday to one year conditional discharge and ordered to perform 100 hours of community service in exchange for pleading guilty to unlawful video recording.

He was also ordered to pay $484 in fines.

Panicko resigned from the Northfield Fire Department in July 2016 after a fellow firefighter made misconduct allegations against him.

Northfield Fire Rescue news

Excerpts from the ChicagoTribune.com:

A part-time firefighter in Northfield has been charged with installing a video recording device in a shower at the fire station, officials said Tuesday.

Edward T. Panicko Jr., 59, of Arlington Heights, is charged with misdemeanor unauthorized video recording and obstruction of a police officer. They said Panicko unlawfully placed the video recording device in the shower to record another fire department employee showering without the victim’s consent. Authorities said the obstruction charge stems from an allegation that Panicko falsely told police during the investigation that he had destroyed the recording device.

Panicko resigned from the fire department earlier this month after allegations of misconduct were made by another firefighter,  and he turned himself in to authorities on Monday.

Panicko had been a part-time firefighter in Northfield for nine years and is also a retired Glenview firefighter.
