A deputy fire chief from Chicago Ridge is retiring; but it’s unlikely Gary Swiercz was going to return from being suspended over the weekend.
He was arrested and charged with breaking into a neighbor’s condo in Tinley Park, beating her, sexually assaulting her and trying to kill her.
Swiercz is free on bond and living at his father’s home in worth; but he must wear an electronic monitoring bracelet.
He is in court this morning in Bridgeview.
