CHICAGO — Four Chicago Police officers have been stripped of their arrest powers during an internal investigation, sources said Thursday.
The department would not say what the officers are accused of or their unit assignment.
Earlier this month, a sergeant and six officers were stripped of their police powers after the sergeant was accused of beating a handcuffed suspect on the South Side near 79th and Vincennes.
Two of those officers were cleared after records showed they were not present during the incident. They have sued the city.
