Chicago’s former top cop Eddie Johnson turned himself in to police after officers responded to his home for a report of a domestic incident, according to a news report.
A source said Johnson went to the 9th District police station Saturday, WBBM-TV reported. He was “wanted” overnight because he left the scene before cops arrived, according to the station.
Police were called to Johnson’s home Friday night by a third party, the station reported.
