Charles Joseph Gliniewicz's widow pleads not guilty

Associated Press

The widow of a suburban Chicago police officer who authorities said killed himself as his apparent embezzlement from a youth program was about to be uncovered has pleaded not guilty to conspiracy.

Melodie Gliniewicz entered the plea Wednesday when she was arraigned on charges of conspiracy and personal use of charitable funds. She is accused of helping her husband, Fox Lake Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz, in his money-siphoning scheme.

The Daily Herald reported that Melodie Gliniewicz previously pleaded not guilty to three counts of misuse of charitable funds and two counts of money laundering. Her trial is June 27.

Charles Joseph Gliniewicz died Sept. 1. Authorities said he staged his suicide to look like a homicide because he feared discovery of the embezzlement.
