Given, Not Earned
Keep those hiring standards low!
A Chicago police officer is facing dismissal after he tested positive for methamphetamine and marijuana just months after he was arrested for allegedly driving drunk and groping a woman at a bar on the Near North Side.
Officer Aramis Williams, 29, failed the drug test at police headquarters in Bronzeville on Jan. 17, 2024, according to disciplinary charges filed last month by Supt. Larry Snelling.
Williams is at least the fourth cop to face dismissal charges for failing a drug test since last October, according to records maintained by the Chicago Police Board. Earlier this year, another officer who tested positive for weed was allowed to keep his job after the board found he had unwittingly ingested the drug.
Williams failed the drug test four months after he was stripped of his policing powers following his arrest.
This mope passed a background check? After getting hired, he got caught:
- driving drunk
- molesting a woman
- before failing a drug test for weed and meth
There weren't any Red Flags in his life history or interview process? Or any of the other three hirees pissing hot within a year?
Many people remember the Abbate debacle - that guy had at least one DUI prior to being hired (maybe more?) but had a heavy phone call to "overlook" an offense that previously resulted in tens of dozens of other people NOT ever getting hired....and look what that resulted in.
Perhaps Personnel needs a good housecleaning along with a review of what should disqualify someone from public service?

I was a white police suburban officer and USMC vet and this dept. Fought very hard not hire me with medical stuff. I found out later that they tried to get rid of a lot white suburban cops...one guy had a bunion!! This was back in 1998. I was the dummy that left a white community to join CPD. We were making 84,000 after 7 years, but I had be the POLICE! P.T. Barnum was right and I was the sucker : (
The article states there are four POs who pissed hot and several more pending. It sounds like we're hiring Cheech and Chong types nowadays.
These new guys have to be idiots knowing full well that they'll lose their job if they piss hot with no care in the world.
Gone are the days when a guy pisses hot and uses the excuse of being violated by another man who put coke on the tip of his penis while vacationing in Jamaica.
When are they going to start testing for shrooms all these coppers are ingesting?
CPD never fires the ones that really need firing right away...if they are connected, they languish in call back or other places until the news forgets about them. Fire this asshole now for using drugs and get rid of him. He sounds like a bad penny.
No just new hires. Sergeant in area four detectives division was just stripped yesterday for faulty PPP Loans
Are we really surprised ? Anyone 5years and under is stupid and only got on the job because they couldn’t make it elsewhere in life.
This officer just wasn’t connected high enough so he was terminated. My academy classmate, as a recruit, also popped positive for opioids. Terminated? Suspended? Nope. Father on the job and that’s all I’m revealing. It was determined he had consumed poppyseed bagels for breakfast which resulted in positive test. All the few TONS of his favorite poppyseed bagels in one sitting early morning to record such numbers. Both deserve to be firedor at least suspended but we know this corrupt department works in mysterious ways.
Yeah, he really wants this job. After getting stripped, instead of doing everything possible to show he is worthy of the badge, he goes out, does whatever and pisses hot. That should tell the department everything they need to know.
Please, terminate him already for all our sakes.
At least Williams will be history very soon. Good riddance.
Gotta study harder for the test Einstein
Can’t take an adderall if you don’t have a prescription to it. It stays in the system for at least 3 days.
Speaking of pissing hot. They have several products that look like these wine spritzers but they contain THC from hemp. Just saw a whole end cap of them at Binny's the other day.
All about the quality of what they hire.
Don’t care. We need bodies paying into that pension and normies don’t want the job.
Hey....Snitches get stiches.....remember that newbie
I don't think there is a reliable test for it
I have heard some co -workers talk about this. Wouldn’t doubt it, what would it take for this to be a banned substance? Cause, allegations? Didn’t a bunch of Officers get jammed over steroids once upon a time.
When the demoRats have made the Job a hazard for joining, good applicants can be found, but for the most part seek employment elsewhere, the City finally gets down to the bottom of the barrel, and hires applicants more reflective of the dredges of society. Then pols n media are shocked that these people are on the Job.
The Keesing Bandit makes his own.
lol, I remember that story. I would rather get fired than make that one up. As I recall that story didn’t fly and he got fired anyway.
If anything should be civilized to an outside company at this point- it’s personnel.
Oh just wait. This is the top of the iceberg. No decent law abiding citizens want this job anymore.
Keesing Bandit must be aware of such deceitful packaging!
No THC wine spritzers in his pretty loft!
Not farfetched...happened to me a couple of times..
All four will fit right in over at CTU in some capacity.
This smells fishy! If this happened in 2024 why is the article being published now..
Sounds like an inside job .. but who would wanna embarrass this kid. Maybe somebody connected and wanna hide behind a badge
I though the Sun Times was going to stop publishing photos of people alleged to have committed crimes. These people have only been charged with a crime, not convicted, and deserve the presumption of innocence. I guess that doesn't apply when it is a police officer.
It has to be who you know. A incompetent Capt at Homan has at least 2 DUI's. That Capt has no business being the police let alone a supervisor. Completely clueless when it comes to police work, but a nice person, NOT.
This very same excuse was used by a female in 14 in the early 90’s. Stated went to a friends house and ate poppyseed bagels. One look at her and you could tell she was doing dope. Well, she stayed on the job. She got meritorious to detective and retired at 20 years.
Poppyseeds don't affect drug tests anymore. They test at deeper levels for opioids now. A positive drug test used to be the fastest way off of this job. Why has that changed?
I used to work for a defense contractor and you could get fired for pot in your system (and 1 guy did) even thought it's a legal drug now. The feds still consider it a prohibited substance regardless of the state law.

What say you Keesing Bandit?
(Not Illinois, Not law) And the called me a "dinosaur" when I retired at 59, 13 years ago. I look at my dumbed down replacements and shrug my shoulders!
“I WAS a white police suburban officer”…. So what are you now? Did you change your race?
You’re an idiot!
that's a stupid comment
More than one officer has pissed hot for marijuana and not gotten fired. They sit in callback for awhile and then go back sometimes to sweet units
He's the Cream of the Crop. Remember CPD is about 21 feet of Tail to One Tooth Ratio. Think about them Bad apples & Bad Teeth.
Lowering standards over the years along with DEI hiring….these are the results.
Employee of the Month, no doubt!
Aramis? Yeah not surprised.
But weed is legal today....
Had shrooms which in Amsterdam. They also have much better pot over there too.
Both legal there.
Why isn’t Talley been stripped she’s done the same
Who cares. Put him in a car and have him handle some calls for God's sakes.
BS i had everything bagel, with poppyseeds same day as random and guess what "negative" then again, I don't eat them eve
This job is hard to get fired from. Unless you piss hot. F’n idiots deserve to be fired.
I identify as they/them now Mr. English professor, I clearly stated I was and idiot...so what's ur point?
"Personnel is for assholes!
Inspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan SFPD Ret.
Well, are you two waiting for cupid to plant an arrow in your asses?
No one wants to see that one naked.
So, under 5 years then?
You haven't said Keesing Bandit three times.
Aww come on, it’s just a little weed. Besides, this is a great resume enhancer for these officers who no doubt are democrat machine voters, will be just the types the city is looking for to meritoriously promote to stupidvisor. Maybe next they can do a Trigg and piss hot and say their girls put coke on her nether regions.
I was told by an old time copper/hippy in the 90's that you could do shrooms and acid on your days off and never piss hot. The only way to test for it then was through a spinal tap. By the way, Tony Abate was and always will be a giant POS
Never been jam ups over roids. J Pecoro got canned a long time ago. Now we all have legal prescriptions. But shrooms got me off of the bottle. So accessible and safe I take a piece of a chocolate bar and melt into my recliner on my days off no stress no hangover nothing just a smile on my face feeling at peace.
Exactly. Or a protected entitled race
Used to be that way. Not anymore, now days not everyone gets fired for pissing hot
Hey it happened to Elaine in Seinfeld so it must be true!
The best of all! The hood-rat Lt. who pissed hot and blamed it on eating out his "lady". Apparently the lil dove liked to smear cocaine on her snatch. But as I said "Hood rat" Not guilty, Go in peace! It's all on the square boy, honest, it
is!
