The [Monday] Papers"Three Chicago police officers and a Glenview police officer have been charged with lying under oath in court during a drug case last year," the Tribune reports. "The officers - Chicago Police Sergeant James Padar, Officer William Pruente, Officer Vince Morgan and Glenview Officer James Horn - have been charged with felony perjury, according to a statement issued early Monday by the Cook County state's attorney's office. "The charges come after a video contradicted the officers' sworn testimony during a March 2014 court hearing on whether evidence in the drug case had been properly obtained."

"Consumer Advocate Mary Bach says it was just before Easter when she bought some Milky Way and Snickers candy bars. "She says the price tag on the package was for $1.89, but at the checkout she says she was charged $3.50 for each. "She says she told the clerk and was given a refund, but when she went back four days later: 'They still had lots and lots of these items on the shelf, and they were all price marked just as these bags were,' said Bach. "She bought the same items, and once again, she claims she was overcharged. So she decided to sue.
