Cook County State’s Attorney Kimberly Foxx Statement on Guilty Finding of Chicago Police Officer Lowell Houser

“We are pleased with today’s ruling, as the deliberate actions of Officer Houser demanded justice and accountability. While this incident occurred within weeks of this administration taking office, after a careful review, we took swift action to ensure that the appropriate charges were filed for this crime.
