The city of Chicago has released body camera footage and other documentation related to the night former police Supt. Eddie Johnson was found slumped over the wheel of his SUV in October 2019.
Johnson ultimately was fired after he lied to Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot about the circumstances surrounding the incident, according to a letter released by the City Law Department on Monday.
In body camera footage of the incident provided by the city’s law department, Johnson can be seen behind the wheel of his vehicle, with officers asking him multiple times if he was alright.
One of the documents released by the City Law Department on Monday was the letter that Lightfoot sent to Johnson informing him of his dismissal.
Fieweger referred questions about the second officer’s video camera to the Chicago Police Department, which in turn referred NBC5 to Ferguson’s office, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
