BLOOMINGTON – A rural McLean County police officer charged with official misconduct wants a jury to decide his case.
A judge on Thursday scheduled Kelly Gordon’s trial to start Monday.
Charges filed in late 2019 allege Gordon, 54, used his position as a Colfax Police officer to access law enforcement’s computer system so he could find out about a separate case against him involving computer tampering accusations.
All four official misconduct charges are felonies, in which Gordon could receive prison time or probation if he’s convicted.
Gordon faces a dozen computer tampering charges, also filed almost two years ago, connected to the time he worked in information technology at the Community Cancer Center in Normal. Gordon is scheduled to appear in July for a status hearing in that case.
Gordon worked as a part time police officer in several small communities. Colfax Mayor Larry Dodds told Heart of Illinois-ABC that Gordon worked for the village one night a week. The mayor said Gordon is on unpaid administrative leave pending the outcome of the criminal case.
