The Town of Cicero moved one step closer Thursday to firing a police commander who authorities said had marijuana in his car when he was pulled over in Chicago endure January.
The village’session Police Board rejected Wesley Scott’s supplication to dismiss a complaint seeking his firing for conduct unbecoming an officer and set a Dec. 3 hearing date for the complaint.
Chicago police pulled Scott over Jan. 27 for infirmity to stop at a stop sign, officials declared. Police said he had a burned marijuana cigarette in the car and 4.6 grams of the drug in a bag on top of his console. He was charged with misdemeanor marijuana occupation, unless the charge was dropped May 7 after he completed a drug school diversion program in Cook County.
Immediately after his arrest, Cicero officials put Scott upon paid leave from his $80,000 standing. Town officials ordered Scott to take a hair follicle drug test, but he was given a urine standard in lieu, a mistake that wasn’t discovered until test results showed he had passed it. Town officials immediately ordered him to betake one’s self to a hair follicle test, which can detect drugs in a person’s scheme going back several weeks.
Cicero officials had declined to reveal the results of that trial, but on Thursday officials said it "was nor one nor the other negative nor positive. It was inconclusive because Scott did not have a sufficient quantity of hair to exhibition."
After Cook County dismissed Scott’s citation, Cicero moved to fire him, filing charges with the Police Board and ordering Scott put on unpaid leave. However, a month later, he was put back on the payroll while the town waits for the board to act.
