In all, Brown brought five charges against Sherry: violation of any law or ordinance, making a false report, disobeying an order, bringing discredit upon the CPD, and failing to promote the CPD’s efforts to accomplish its goals.
Sherry’s attorney could not be reached for comment Wednesday. A CPD spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.
The first police board evidentiary hearing in the case is scheduled for next month. Brown recommended that Sherry be fired.
Sherry was suspended and stripped of his police powers in 2006 after he and other SOS cops were charged in Cook County Circuit Court. Those charges which included armed violence, armed robbery, home invasion, aggravated kidnapping and burglary were dropped in 2009.
