119th Knights Quest
Grade Schoolers Take On Chicago Cops
14th District police officer Jim Regnier managed to put the police on the board with a win against a 3rd grader. He joked that it was a little nerve-wracking playing a 3rd grader. He said his heart was pounding like he was about to serve a search warrant as he savored the victory with some other officers who weren’t so fortunate.
