Two police officers and family members of two high-ranking Harvey officials face charges including conspiracy to commit extortion.
HARVEY, IL —Two relatives of high-ranking city of Harvey officials, two Harvey police officers, and two others have been charged in a federal corruption probe, hours after FBI agents raided the Harvey Police Department, and a Planning and Development office at the south suburban city hall.
Federal prosecutors said the defendants include 66-year-old Rommell Kellogg, who is the brother of Harvey Mayor Eric Kellogg, and 63-year-old Corey Johnson — described by the feds as the brother of a Harvey police officer who is “de facto” head of the city’s Building and Planning Department. Rommell Kellogg and Corey Johnson both are charged with conspiracy to commit extortion.
