Lying Snitch Locked Up: Cops

JOLIET, IL — A snitch wanted for lying to a judge about another man supposedly selling pot has been apprehended, police said.

Andrew Wysocki, 27, was booked into the Will County jail Thursday night on felony charges of perjury and obstructing justice.

Wysocki allegedly lied to Judge Carla Alessio Policandriotes in March, telling her he had been inside a residence on Foxfield Drive and — while he was there — a man named Josh Hamm sold marijuana from the home, according to a criminal complaint on file in Will County court.

Wysocki did this “with the intent to obstruct the prosecution or defense of Josh Hamm,” the complaint said.

Hamm, 26, has no drug cases on file in Will County court. Wysocki, on the other hand, was charged with possessing marijuana and drug paraphernalia in March.

The police had picked through the garbage outside Wysocki’s Marquette Drive home the month prior and found marijuana in several one-gallon plastic bags, according to a complaint for a search warrant.

Police then obtained a search warrant for the unemployed Wysocki’s home and seized less than four grams of pot packaged in two bags, a glass pipe and a scale.

Wysocki was freed on his own recognizance following his arrest on the pot and paraphernalia charges.
The bond for Wysocki’s perjury case had been previously set at $100,000.
