Cook County prosecutors said that Burge Jr., whose father is the police chief of Dixmoor, confronted Carla Bourgouis when she came to the Dixmoor police station after her grandson was arrested in January 2020. Burge arrested the boy’s father when he refused to hand over a cellphone he was using to record their conversation. Bourgouis said she then also began recording, Burge demanded she give him her cellphone, and she began to leave the station. Burge chased after Bourgouis, carried her back in, and "then purposefully slammed the victim’s face into the back hallway wall on three separate occasions," prosecutors said. Dixmoor Police Chief Ronald Burge Sr., the former commander’s father, defended his son’s actions. All charges against Bourgouis were dropped by prosecutors. Mondayʼs hearing for Burge is a status hearing. Sun-Times Media Wire contributed to this report.
