The accused killer of a Chicago<\/a> police officer was ordered back into custody Tuesday in a separate carjacking case, after the same judge came under fire for releasing the seven-time convicted felon on electronic monitoring before the alleged murder.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alphanso Talley, 27, appeared in court Tuesday for a hearing regarding an alleged violation of his release conditions stemming from a 2025 armed robbery and carjacking case.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Talley appeared wearing a green jail jumpsuit and shackles as Cook County Circuit Court Judge John Lyke Jr. granted prosecutors\u2019 request to formally revoke his pretrial release in the carjacking case.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The case drew national scrutiny after Talley allegedly fatally shot a Chicago police officer<\/a> and wounded another while free on electronic monitoring \u2014 a decision made by Lyke ahead of his trial.<\/p>\n

Court transcripts obtained by Fox News reveal Lyke referenced Illinois\u2019 SAFE-T Act<\/a> \u2013 a 2021 law that eliminated cash bail \u2013 when making the determination to release Talley, a seven-time convicted felon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Presumably he would have had a minimum, collectively, of $1 million bail, and he would have needed $100,000 to get out,” Lyke told the court. “Our esteem(ed) Legislature says, ‘No, we’re not going to do that anymore. We’re going to make judges take a critical look at it.'”<\/p>\n

Authorities said Talley was unaccounted for in the electronic<\/a> monitoring system when he allegedly gunned down Officer John Bartholomew, 28, and gravely injured another police officer\u00a0at Swedish Hospital on Saturday, April 25.<\/p>\n

Talley was arrested just hours before the shooting in connection with an alleged armed robbery at a nearby Family Dollar, officials previously said. In that incident, he is accused of pistol-whipping a female employee before making off with her keys and wallet.<\/p>\n

GOT A TIP?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

After being taken into custody, Talley allegedly informed officers he had swallowed narcotics and asked to be taken to the hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While receiving medical treatment<\/a>, police say Talley retrieved a gun from underneath a blanket and shot both officers before attempting to escape custody.<\/p>\n

“He was going to attempt an escape when he pretended to swallow drugs,” prosecutors previously told the court while arguing for Talley to remain<\/a> behind bars in his murder trial. “He knew police would take him to the hospital for his own well-being. He knew he would be uncuffed at that time. He did that to officers who simply took him to the hospital for his own well-being.”<\/p>\n

He was subsequently arrested and charged with first-degree murder<\/a>, attempted murder, aggravated kidnapping and armed robbery.<\/p>\n

The judge handling his first-degree murder case previously ordered Talley to remain in custody ahead of his trial.<\/p>\n

“It is clear to this court that you pose a threat to any person you\u2019re around,” Judge D\u2019Anthony Thedford said. “If you\u2019re out \u2014 you\u2019re dangerous. I cannot trust that you will follow any orders that this court gives. No conditions that I can propose can keep the community safe from you.”<\/p>\n

At the time of the alleged shooting, Talley already had several prior arrests and convictions spanning the past nine years, according to Illinois Department of Corrections records.<\/p>\n

His rap sheet includes a conviction for four counts of aggravated robbery with a firearm in 2017, unlawful use or possession of a firearm by a felon with a prior conviction in 2021, battery on a peace officer in 2023 and possession\/aiding and abetting a stolen motor vehicle.<\/p>\n

He is scheduled to return to court Wednesday for a hearing regarding the charges stemming from the alleged shooting, with his next court date in the alleged carjacking and armed robbery case set for July 15.\u00a0<\/p>\n
