About this Article

Lance Adams III, a 10-year veteran of the Elgin Police Department with a history of misconduct and alcohol abuse, was fired last week at the conclusion of an internal probe of the events surrounding his 2011 arrest at a Michigan amusement park. "Termination is the appropriate discipline in this case," Elgin Police Chief Jeffrey Swoboda said Tuesday.
