Schaumburg police arrested McKenzie in March following an undercover narcotics investigation. Authorities say McKenzie pushed and struck an officer when the officer approached McKenzie's vehicle.
McKenzie was injured in the altercation and required stitches to his head, a Cook County prosecutor said at his March bond hearing.
