GARY, Ind. — Bail has been set for a northwest Indiana man charged in the 1980 death of a police officer killed while working a side security job.
James Hill of Gary has pleaded not guilty. The Post-Tribune reports (http://trib.in/2ggmevY) bail was set at $50,000. In 2012, Hill and two others were charged in Hammond officer Larry Pucalik’s death, but the charges were dismissed. Hill was charged again in September.
Hill’s sister-in-law Moniqueka Hardaway questions the timing.
