CHICAGO, IL. (THECOUNT) — Chicago Police Department superintendent Eddie Johnson is reportedly furious that charges against Hollywood actor Jussie Smollett were dropped by Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx on Tuesday.
Foxx dropped all 16 felony charges against Smollett, whom police accused of faking a hate crime in January and blaming it on Trump supporters. The prosecutor reportedly cited Smollett’s community service as a reason to drop the charges and let him go.
Charlie De Mar, a reporter for Chicago’s local CBS affiliate WBBM-2, reported that Johnson was “furious,” and that he had not been consulted or informed about the decision to drop the charges against Smollett, reports Breitbart.
