Cop in bar brawl Tasered

It took a Taser to subdue a Chicago Police officer who attacked two Forest Park cops Saturday night, authorities said.

Richard Schmidt, on the force two years and assigned to the Englewood District, faces felony aggravated battery charges for allegedly striking two Forest Park officers as well as a paramedic. Judge Gregory Ginex set Schmidt's bond at $10,000 on Monday.

"He wouldn't stop fighting," said Deputy Chief Thomas Aftanas of the Forest Park Police.more
