Former bank CEO Robert Michael not guilty in fraud case tied to ex-Country Club Hills police chief Regina Evans - THE ONLY DEFENDANT SO FAR CONNECTED TO KRUSTY TOES EVANS TO BEAT THE CHARGES

A federal jury cleared the former CEO of the failed Citizens Bank on Tuesday after a one-week fraud trial, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office.

The feds put Robert Michael on trial last week for alleged fraud, lies and money laundering tied to a real estate deal with disgraced former Country Club Hills Police Chief Regina Evans. Prosecutors said the transaction was meant to generate cash for Evans’ entertainment business, and it ultimately funneled $634,000 into bank accounts they controlled.

The jury found Michael not guilty of all counts Tuesday night, a U.S. Attorney spokesman said.
