South Holland police officer investigated for foul-mouthed traffic stop

SOUTH HOLLAND, Ill. (WLS) -- A South Holland police officer could be in trouble for a foul-mouthed traffic stop after the person in the driver's seat captured it on his cellphone.

Rodney Wilson Jr. says he was pulled over by the cursing cop last Friday. The video was posted on social media and it went viral. Wilson says he felt threatened.

"He came at me in a very intimidating way, trying to make it seem like I couldn't say anything or do anything," Wilson said.

"The words that were used by our patrol officer was in violation of our code of conduct," said Chief Greg Baker, South Holland Police Dept.

The South Holland Police Dept. said it will not take any action against the officer until it finishes its investigation.
