Officer charged with perjury

A preliminary examination for a former Constantine reserve police officer charged with lying in testimony he gave to prosecutors investigating the 2007 death of 11-year-old Jodi Parrack was postponed last week for a second time.

The attorney for defendant Raymond McCann II requested postponement and the matter has been rescheduled for July 9 before District Judge Robert Pattison.

McCann has been in the St. Joseph County Jail since his arraignment on the perjury charge April 19. He is being held on $ 225,000 bond.

A Michigan State Police arrest affidavit alleges McCann lied in sworn testimony he gave during a September 2012 prosecutor’s investigative subpoena, part of a cold-case probe into Parrack’s homicide.

McCann has not been charged with the homicide, but investigators say he has been a person of interest since Parrack’s death in November 2007.
