The recruit's career as an officer is now potentially on the line before it started.
-- A Chicago police recruit has found herself on the wrong side of the law —accused of pushing, striking, scratching, and even kicking an officer in west suburban Schiller Park.
The CPD recruit allegedly refused to provide"basic identity information after being stopped for a traffic violation," a police report said. An officer observed that Balseca had bloodshot and glassy eyes and"an odor of an alcohol-based beverage emanating from her breath as she spoke," the report said. Outside the car, Balseca refused to place her hands behind her back when ordered to do so, the report said. She"instead pushed, struck, scratched, and kicked" the officer"in an attempt to defeat the arrest," the report said.
The Chicago Police Department late Monday was not saying much about their recruit - who aspired to become an officer and is now accused of attacking a fellow member in blue.
