CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) --Bond was set at $10,000 for a Chicago police officer charged with drug possession, according to authorities.

Officer Antrinius Andrews, 38, was arrested early Friday morning in the 5100 block of North Milwaukee Avenue and charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia, police said.

He was “relieved of his police powers,” after the arrest, police said.

Chicago police observed a "clear plastic baggie containing a white residue" on the computer in the squad car and another baggie containing a rock-like substance, suspected to be crack cocaine, according to CBS 2.

The case was open with the Bureau of Internal Affairs. His next court date was set for July 12.
