Drinking Cop Wreaks Havoc "[Officer] Schmidt was on the second floor of the tavern intentionally jumping in the air and landing on tables with his back and breaking them," the Village of Forest Park said in a statement.
Forest Park Police arrested Schmidt for criminal damage to property, Aftanas said. At the station, Schmidt resisted instructions, elbowed an officer in the face, and "attacked'' a sergeant, according to the statement.
Schmidt also spat blood at a paramedic and hit a paramedic in the neck, said Cook County state's attorney spokesman John Gorman. Aftanas disagreed that a paramedic was punched.
No one was seriously hurt in the incident, a source said, though Schmidt was taken to Oak Park Hospital. Schmidt's blood alcohol level was three times the legal limit for driving, Gorman said.
Schmidt, 25, has been relieved of his police powers, and an investigation by the Independent Police Review Authority is pending, said Chicago Police spokeswoman Monique Bond.
