WOODSTOCK – A former Hebron police officer already facing weapons charges, denied new allegations that he sold drugs while on duty.

Ryszard T. Kopacz, 30, of Wauconda, was arraigned Monday on five additional counts of official misconduct. He pleaded not guilty before McHenry County Judge Gordon Graham.

According to prosecutors and court documents, Kopacz, between February and June, had delivered marijuana to an unnamed informant while he was on duty and in uniform as a Hebron Police officer.

His attorney, Steven Goldman, declined to comment outside the courtroom, saying that he wanted to look closer at discovery before speaking publicly about the cases.

Kopacz previously denied allegations that he stole guns from the evidence locker in Hebron. He was arrested on weapons and official misconduct charges in July, and was released on bond when a warrant was issued for the latest allegations.

Kopacz was fired in June from Hebron for reasons unrelated to his criminal charges, officials there have said. He then was briefly hired by Richmond Police Department where he worked for about a week before being fired for failing to show up for work.

The latest bill of indictment also accuses Kopacz of obtaining a hydrocodone pill from an elderly Richmond resident, again while on duty.

Official misconduct is a Class 3 felony punishable by two to five years in prison. The most serious charge against Kopacz – aggravated possession of firearms – is punishable by up to 15 years in prison.

Kopacz remains free on $4,000 bond. His next court date is Oct. 7.
