Chicago Police Recruit Cleared of Drug Possession Charges After Testing Reveals Material Not Illegal

Alfredo Saldana (Chicago Police Department)

During his first court appearance, drug possession charges against a Chicago police recruit, Alfredo Saldana, were dropped by prosecutors after tests revealed that the material found in his pants pocket was not illegal, as reported by the Sun-Times.

On April 21, Saldana, a cadet, was given a small baggie with simulated heroin for training purposes. Another recruit conducted a search and found a baggie with suspected crack cocaine. Saldana claimed the pants belonged to his brother, who is a police officer, and that he was unaware of the fake drugs in the pocket.

Attorney Tim Grace confirmed that testing showed the material was not illegal and that Saldana was unaware of its presence in the pocket of his brother’s pants. Despite this, charges were filed without testing the substance.

In a recent YouTube video, Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #7 President John Catanzara criticized a CPD Internal Affairs detective involved in the case, accusing him of targeting fellow officers without proper evidence. The detective has faced lawsuits for wrongful prosecution in the past.

The incident highlights the importance of thorough investigations and the need for fair treatment of law enforcement personnel. It also raises questions about the handling of evidence and the role of internal affairs in cases involving police officers.

As the Chicago Police Department addresses these concerns, it is crucial to uphold the principles of justice and integrity within the force to maintain trust and accountability in the community.
