Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson was fired Monday by Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who accused him of being dishonest.
“It has become clear that Mr. Johnson engaged in a series of ethical lapses that are intolerable,” Lightfoot wrote in a statement. “Mr. Johnson was intentionally dishonest with me and communicated a narrative replete with false statements regarding material aspects of the incident that happened in the early morning hours of Oct. 17.” In that incident, Johnson was found asleep in his vehicle near his home in Bridgeport.
