A federal grand jury in the Northern District of Illinois indicted Antoine Larry, a then-active Bolingbrook police officer, on charges arising from his alleged abuse of official authority [1]. The case proceeded to trial before Judge John F. Kness in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, sitting in Chicago, on counts of conspiracy, extortion, and attempted extortion [1].
On Feb. 15, 2026, a federal jury convicted Larry, 50, on all three counts [1]. The government's theory centered on Larry's exploitation of his law enforcement position to obtain something of value through coercion, conduct the charges framed as both completed extortion and an attempted scheme [1]. Assistant U.S. Attorney Ramon Villalpando of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Illinois handled the prosecution [1].
Judge Kness sentenced Larry on June 8, 2026, to five years and three months in federal prison [1]. The sentence follows the conviction on all charged counts, leaving no counts unresolved. No fine or restitution figures appear in the available source material.
The record does not reflect a filed notice of appeal as of the sentencing date, though federal defendants retain the right to appeal within 14 days of judgment. Larry's case adds to a pattern of federal prosecutions targeting law enforcement corruption in the Chicago metropolitan area, a priority the Northern District of Illinois has pursued through successive administrations [1].
