A 23-year-old Kankakee man was arrested on Thursday for allegedly supplying the gun used to kill a Bradley police sergeant last year as she pleaded for her life.
Bailey also knew Sullivan was wanted on outstanding warrants of arrests for failure to appear in court, prosecutors said.
The Bradley community is coming together to remember their very own. The "I Got Your Six 5K" was created to honor Sgt. Marlene Rittmanic and Officer Tyler Bailey. Bailey was shot in the head and Rittmanic, his partner, was killed more than three months ago. Officer Bailey then knocked a fifth time at 10:25 p.m., and Xandria responded again that she was coming to the door.
Sullivan then allegedly chased Sgt. Rittmanic down the hallway of the hotel and pinned her up against a door. Xandria allegedly reached around the waist of Sullivan, and assisted him in attempting to cock the firearm and/or disarm Sgt. Rittmanic, prosecutors said.Xandria stood over Sgt. Rittmanic while holding Sullivan's firearm. Sullivan then allegedly told Xandria to give him the keys. As she handed over the keys, Sullivan allegedly fired two shots from what is believed to be Sgt. Rittmanic's duty weapon, striking her in the throat and neck.
