A police officer for the south suburb of Robbins was arrested Thursday and stripped of his police powers on unspecified felony charges, authorities said.
Robbins Police Chief Johnny Holmes said Officer James McGee was charged in Lake County, Ind., where McGee lives. McGee was detained by Robbins police at about 3 p.m. after his department was contacted by Lake County, Holmes said.
McGee had just completed working the 7 a.m.-3 p.m. shift when he was arrested, Holmes said. McGee's badge and pistol were taken and he was held pending an extradition hearing Friday morning at the Markham Courthouse, Holmes said.
Holmes said he was only told the charges related to McGee were felonies, and he declined to provide additional details.
Officials with the Lake County prosecutor's office were unavailable late Thursday.
