Officer Lowell Houser, 57, was arrested and charged Wednesday for the Jan. 2 murder of Jose Nieves after a criminal investigation of the incident, according to the Cook County state’s attorney.
Houser has been a focus of at least 20 disciplinary investigations since the early 1990s, department records show. In 1994, he received a five-day suspension in an incident described as a domestic altercation or disturbance that happened when he was off duty, according to the records.
