Officer Christopher Hillas was charged Wednesday with aggravated battery on a public way and official misconduct, both felonies.
Hillas appeared for a bond hearing Thursday afternoon, where Cook County Judge Maryam Ahmad set bail at $10,000. Ahmad restricted him from possessing any firearms.
In court, Cook County Assistant State’s Attorney Lynn McCarthy said on Dec. 24, police were at the 12th District station when they saw the suspect with a handgun. As officers approached, he fired the weapon at them, McCarthy said.McCarthy said after a brief pursuit, the suspect surrendered and was placed in handcuffs and escorted to a squad car for transport to a hospital.
Several body worn cameras captured the event, prosecutors said. Charges of attempted murder, aggravated discharge of a firearm, and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon are pending for the suspect Hillas allegedly punched, McCarthy told the judge.
