A Chicago Police Department recruit was arrested for attacking a Schiller Park officer during a traffic stop in the 4100 block of West Grace Street.
A Chicago police recruit was arrested over the weekend after she allegedly attacked a Schiller Park cop during a traffic stop in the northwest suburb, but no criminal charges were filed against her.
The officer chose not to pursue criminal charges against Balseca, 27, even though he suffered a laceration to the left arm, DeSimone said. The citations were based on Balseca's refusal to provide identifying information and her attempts to stop the arrest, according to DeSimone, who noted that cops "have the discretion to charge suspects with charges they deem to be appropriate."Following her arrest, DeSimone said Balseca was "processed and then released."
