A Chicago Police Department (CPD) officer has been sacked from the force and is facing charges after she allegedly reported a fake story of her being robbed of $5,000 at gunpoint.
CPD Officer Zondranika Williams, 37, was charged with felony disorderly conduct and false report of an offense at a court hearing on Thursday, CBS News Chicago reported.
It came two days after Williams, an eight-year veteran on the force, was arrested and fired from her position after making up a mountain of lies about being mugged by an armed suspect while she was off duty.
Williams worked in the 1st District as a patrol officer, according to CBS 2.
It is unclear what motivated Williams to file the crime report.
Her attorney told CBS 2 that she has more than 30 departmental commendations with distinction and that he looks forward to defending her in court.
