A Chicago police officer has
been charged with drunk driving down a freeway in the wrong direction at 6am.
Danny Sevilla, 33, was pulled
out of his car by colleagues Friday morning after speeding north towards
downtown Chicago in the southbound lane.
Other motorists told how they
chased him and slammed down on their horns when Sevilla drove down the exit
ramp on the I-57 freeway at 5.45am.
The bystanders managed to catch
up with Sevilla, driving in a black Mitsubishi Outlander, open the door and cut
the ignition, the Chicago Tribune reported.
Police later turned up and
patted him down - finding out in the process that he had a gun.
Sevilla, driving in a black
Mitsubishi Outlander, was relieved of police powers and put on admin duties
instead.
Police sources say he seemed
drunk when they got him out of the car. They found that he had a gun.
Jujuan Williams,42, was driving
to the gym when he came across Sevilla.
