Police said the 38-year-old officer was arrested coming out of a Norwood Park neighborhood bar early Friday morning.
As CBS 2 Investigator Megan Hickey confirmed the arrest happened around 5:30 a.m. Police records show the arrest happened as Officer Antrinius Andrews was coming out of Teasers, at 7123 W. Higgins Ave.A police report obtained by the CBS 2 Investigators shows Andrews was off duty at the time, but raised suspicions because he parked his squad car outside of the bar.
A CPD officer approached Andrews and"detected a strong odor of alcohol,""along with a slurred speech." Andrews said he"had a few drinks," records say. There was also an additional zip lock bag"containing a white powder-like substance" was suspected to be powder cocaine, records say. Police also found an open bottle of vodka and a bottle of brandy in the squad.The report went on to say that Andrews, who has been with the department since 2012, was placed into custody - and an Internal Affairs Division sergeant responded.
He was charged with two felony counts of possession of a controlled substance and one misdemeanor count of possession of drug paraphernalia.According to police and Office of Inspector General records, the Bureau of Internal Affairs recommended a 15-day suspension for Officer Andrews in 2020, after he was caught intoxicated on the job.
