A 23-year-old Kankakee man was arrested on Thursday for allegedly supplying the gun used to kill a Bradley police sergeant last year as she pleaded for her life.
Bradley Police Sergeant Marlene Rittmanic was fatally shot last year in the line of duty. Two people have been charged with her murder. Another man, Xavier Harris, 22, was arrested Wednesday for obstructing justice and concealing or aiding a fugitive in connection to the killing.
The Bradley Police Department says Sgt. Marlene Rittmanic's visitation will be held on Thursday at Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais. Her funeral will be held on Friday at 10 a.m. and will include a law enforcement procession.
The two suspects in connection to the killing of a Bradley Sergeant and critical wounding of an officer were both denied bail and are being held without bond, as authorities seek "the fullest consequences possible," Kankakee State's Attorney Jim Rowe said in a Wednesday afternoon press conference.
