Roe Conn

Roe B. Conn (born June 6, 1964) is a former American talk radio host based in Chicago who is now a sworn deputy and Director of the Cook County sheriff's office.

Early in his career Conn chose to use the on air pseudonym Robert Thomas, believing that his real name was not suitable for the radio business.

On March 27, 2009, Conn announced on his WLS-AM radio show a new, parallel endeavor called "The Roe Report."

The Roe Report was a nationally syndicated daily news/commentary segment initially airing in New York (WABC), Los Angeles (KABC) and Chicago (WLS-AM), filling the void left by the death of Paul Harvey.

He pledged to contribute $6,500, the amount that Condit paid for his ads on Conn's show, to the Jewish United Fund and the World Trade Center Memorial Foundation.

Chicago Sun-Times columnist Robert Feder lauded Roe's stance as one of the "genuine class acts" in radio that year.

[11] The Roe Conn show took a call on March 28, 2006, from a small-business owner who claimed to have spoken with a juror about the trial of former governor George Ryan.

On June 9, 2007, Conn became a winning owner when his horse, Greeley's Angel, won for the first time in Race 5 at Arlington Park.
