When she was 22, Rachel Hoffman, a Florida resident, was pulled over by Tallahassee police officers in February 2007 for a routine traffic stop.
During the stop, the officers discovered 25 grams of marijuana in her possession. A subsequent search of her apartment uncovered additional illicit substances.
Facing the possibility of a four-year prison sentence, Rachel was offered an alternative by the officers: she could avoid charges by working as an informant in a sting operation.
Rachel agreed to the arrangement and was instructed to purchase 1,500 pills, 56 grams of cocaine, and two handguns.
However, the dealers quickly grew suspicious of Rachel and discovered the wire she was wearing.
Tragically, they shot and killed her with one of the handguns she was supposed to buy.
The officers involved in the operation were suspended with pay, and Rachel's family filed a lawsuit against the city.
The two dealers were charged and sentenced to life imprisonment.
Five people were robbed in an hour-long spree across the Loop, Lincoln Park, and Lakeview yesterday morning.
The crimes all involved a group of three or four men who jumped out of cars to attack people on the street.

Gents, as a 55 year old with 3 kids incl. 2 daughters, I'm amazed at the amount of older men, some even my age that think they can hit on 19 y/o girls. These girls are not only off limits, they have no interest in you. And you shouldn't have any in them. Act your fkn age, and
If you’re a 30+ yo woman, single but want to get married, you need to really sit down and be BRUTALLY honest with yourself. Ask yourself “what am I doing wrong?” And be courageous enough to tell yourself the truth. If you say “men suck” you will never solve your real problem.
‼️ Jake Paul knocks out Mike Perry in round six. Perry incredibly tough to his credit, but it was all too much for him in the end. Jake now moves on to the Mike Tyson fight rescheduled for Nov 15th.
After a heated argument, Keeno Butler, weighing 120 pounds, was beaten and stabbed by his girlfriend Windi Thomas, who weighed 300 pounds.
Thomas knocked Butler to the ground and sat on top of him, pressing all her weight against his body. This crushing weight ultimately led to Butler's death.
Thomas was sentenced to serve 18 to 36 years in prison after pleading guilty to third-degree murder in the death of her boyfriend, Keeno Butler.
The coroner said Thomas beat Butler in the head with a wooden table leg then suffocated him during a fight.
A gunman fired shots while robbing an off-duty firefighter in Bucktown last night.
In a piece of good news, robberies in the area, while still higher than in most recent years, have waned following recent arrests.

@VladTheInflator I've bought nice cars. (IROC-Zs, BMWs, Grand Cherokees)
I've bought new cars. (Toyota Corollas, Reg Cab F-150)
But I've never bought a nice, new car.
(And I'm retired at 53 with zero debt.)
A disgusting cowardly act committed by cowards and lowlifes. Losers who were more than likely after her master key but instead, decided it was easier to take this @USPS letter carriers life.
You would think Black Chicago would be upset. You would think @ChicagosMayor would be upset. You would think @GovPritzker would be upset. You would think @ToniPreckwinkle would be upset. You would think @ChrisWelch_JD would be upset. You would think @SAKimFoxx would be upset.
But unfortunately, once again, there will be no protests or marches because hey, it's Friday and everyone is focused on the club, car shows and hanging out. But if the black residents of the community don't get any mail, they will complain and demand. In the case of politicians, they are more concerned with ducking accountability.
Just another day in #Chicago.
