The seven-time felon accused of gunning down a Chicago police officer<\/a> returned to court Wednesday to enter a plea in the fatal shooting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alphanso Talley, 27, pleaded not guilty to charges<\/a> stemming from the fatal shooting of Chicago Police Department (CPD) Officer John Bartholomew, 28, inside an Illinois courtroom Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

Bartholomew\u2019s loved ones were in attendance at the arraignment, along with Talley\u2019s mother and another member of his family who were seated in the front row.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As Talley was escorted out of the courtroom, he yelled, “Go hug my momma,” prompting another man to embrace his mother.<\/p>\n

Immediately following the court appearance, a male individual was seen engaging in a spirited exchange with Chicago Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara Jr. before he walked away. Fox News Digital reached out to Catanzara.<\/p>\n

Talley’s public defender, Ryan Carlsen, said after the hearing that it was discussed in court that Talley is not receiving adequate health treatment. Carlsen said Talley has documented mental health issues and bounced between foster homes during a difficult childhood.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors allege Talley fatally shot Bartholomew and gravely<\/a> injured Officer Nelson Crespo at Swedish Hospital on Saturday, April 25.<\/p>\n

On the day of the alleged shooting, Talley was taken into custody just hours earlier in connection with a suspected armed robbery at a local Family Dollar, authorities previously said. Officials allege that he pistol-whipped a female employee inside the store before stealing her wallet and keys.<\/p>\n

Immediately following his arrest, Talley allegedly told officers he had consumed narcotics and asked to be taken to the hospital.<\/p>\n

GOT A TIP?\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Upon receiving medical treatment<\/a>, police say Talley retrieved a gun from underneath a blanket in his hospital room and shot both officers before attempting to escape custody.\u00a0<\/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 behind bars. “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

After his initial court appearance, Judge D\u2019Anthony Thedford ruled Talley would remain in custody as he awaits trial.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Talley is also facing a slew of separate charges stemming from the alleged robbery and carjacking case, and was ordered to remain behind bars earlier this month after Judge John Lyke Jr. granted prosecutors\u2019 request to formally revoke his pretrial release<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The case drew national attention after Talley<\/a> \u2013 a seven-time felon \u2013\u00a0allegedly gunned down Bartholomew while free on electronic monitoring, which had been granted by Lyke Jr.<\/p>\n

At the time of his pre-trial release, Talley\u2019s rap sheet included 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 was released under Illinois\u2019 SAFE-T Act, which established cashless bail in 2021<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Talley is charged with murder, attempted murder, aggravated unlawful restraint, armed robbery, aggravated discharge of a firearm, possession of a firearm by a felon, aggravated battery of a peace officer, aggravated battery, escape and unlawful use of a weapon.<\/p>\n

He is set to return to court for a discovery hearing on June 25.\u00a0<\/p>\n
