Former Chicago Cop Sammie Parr ACCUSED OF NOT PAYING WORKERS

A former Chicago police officer is charged with theft and refusal to pay wages to employees that worked at his security companies.

Former employees of Sammie Parr III first called the ABC7 I-Team six months ago. They all say SOS Intellectual Security Company or MVP Security Company owes them pay checks ranging from $1,000 to $4,000.

The Department of Labor and the Illinois Attorney general say Sammie Parr the third is the man responsible for paying them.

Parr avoided calls and requests for an interview, but ABC7 Eyewitness News showed up for his recent court appearance.

"I follow by the rules you all set," Parr said. "Never stole anything in my life. Never will. Never have to."

His former employees disagree. They said Parr owes them each $1,000 to $4,000.
