Facts About Chicago Police Officer Terrance Finley, Charged With DUI In Fatal Crash
(CBS) -- Chicago Police Officer Terrance Finley has been charged with reckless homicide and DUI after he lost control of his car and crashed into a restaurant, killing a woman sitting inside.

He is a relative newcomer to the police force. According to the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board, Finley was hired by CPD on Oct. 16, 2017.
