Officer S.P., a tactical officer, arrested a woman found to have drugs and guns in her vehicle. The arrest was the result of information obtained from a confidential informant, whom was later discovered to be the estranged husband of the woman arrested. Officer S.P. was unaware of the relationship between the woman and the C.I. at the time of the arrest. The case was eventually dismissed after it was determined that the estranged husband planted the contraband in his ex-wife's car. Officer S.P. was charged criminally for perjury.After a bench trial, Officer S.P. was found NOT GUILTY of all charges. The CPD then sought his termination and filed charges against him at the Police Board. The Board found Officer S.P. guilty and terminated him. Officer S.P. appealed the decision to the Circuit Court of Cook County pursuant to Administrative Review. The Court determined that Police Board's decision "was against the manifest weight of the evidence," and that the Board "erred" in finding Officer S.P. guilty of providing false testimony. 13 CH 19003 (2014)
