CHICAGO (AP) - Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez has fired two investigators who let convicted robber Robert Maday escape earlier this fall.
Alvarez said Thursday her office moved to terminate Nick Argentine and Joe Fallon after an internal review determined they had violated numerous policies and procedures regarding the transport of prisoners.
The 39-year-old Maday led authorities on a 26-hour manhunt in September after overpowering the guards as they drove him to the Rolling Meadows courthouse for a sentencing hearing.
The Elk Grove Village man has since been charged with aggravated vehicular hijacking and attempted armed robbery in connection to the incident.
