An off-duty Chicago police officer was arrested for striking another cop after police executed a search at a home she was at.
Police executed the warrant in the 5000 block of South Lacrosse Avenue at 8 p.m. Thursday. When police entered the home, police said they were confronted by the officer, 37, who struck one of them. Police arrested a man who lived at the home, Albert Quiroz, 42, and charged him with unlawful use of a weapon by a felon. The officer, who was not identified, “has been relieved of her police powers pending the outcome of an internal investigation,’’ police said in a statement.
