The Illinois Appellate Court ruled last week that a Cook County judge erred when he overturned the firing of a Chicago police officer.
SPRINGFIELD — The Illinois Appellate Court ruled last week that a Cook County judge erred when he overturned the firing of a Chicago police officer who was dismissed over allegations that he wrongfully detained a man and dropped him off at a park far from his home after deciding not to make an arrest.
The board then gave Posey a five-year suspension, but the city nonetheless appealed the ruling to the appellate court.Since 2016, Cook County and state Appellate Court judges have heard appeals of police board firings and upheld the board’s decisions in about 22 cases, including Posey’s, according to figures provided by the board.

That led the board to penalize Posey with a 60-day suspension.
The allegations against Posey stem from his May 12, 2014, encounter with Stewart, who worked at the time as a loss prevention officer for a security company, at the Garfield Boulevard Red Line station.
