Wesley Scott, police commander.

Wesley Scott, of Cicero, was charged with misdemeanor possession of cannabis and issued a traffic citation for running a stop sign, police News Affairs Officer David Banks said.
Chicago Police stopped Scott, a member of the Cicero Police Department, at the 6700 block of South Ashland Avenue at about 9:10 p.m., Banks said.
“This officer is a really, really good guy. He’s a straight arrow,” Cicero spokesman Dan Proft said. “Any type of incident like this is beyond out of character. It really surprises me.”
Scott, a 20-year veteran of the Cicero Police Department, was appointed police commander by Cicero Town President Larry Dominick in 2005.
Scott was the first African-American police officer to be promoted to commander in Cicero history, Proft said.
