Wife of disgraced Chicago police chief Eddie Johnson told cops 'he set her clothes on fire using a Lysol can and lighter' and said he 'battered' her in the past, when they showed up to their home last month

The wife of disgraced former Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson reportedly told officers he had set her clothes on fire and had been violent with her in the past, during a dispute at the couple's home last month.    

Nakia Fenner, a police lieutenant, made the claims against her husband while cops were conducting a 'well-being check' at the home, according to report obtained by the Chicago Tribune on Tuesday.

The police documents, released through a public records request, shed new light on the domestic incident involving the couple on October 23.  

According to the report, Fenner asked the responding officers to follow her upstairs to the couple's bedroom where she showed them her burnt clothing strewn on a damaged comforter.

Fenner told the cops Johnson had allegedly used a Lysol can and lighter to set her clothes on fire during a 'heated altercation' over 'their relationship' hours earlier.

Johnson was infamously fired last year after being found asleep at the wheel of his police car after having the equivalent of 10 drinks

The act 'resulted in small flames on the clothes lying on the bed and comforter', the report read.

When she tried to stop him from further damaging her belongings, Johnson grabbed her by the arms and moved her aside, Fenner claimed. She later put the flames out by patting her clothes down.

Fenner also told police that her husband had 'battered' her in the past, the paper reported.

She said she didn't want them to arrest him because she did not want 'extra stress on his life' and only wanted to report the incident.

The report also noted Johnson, who had been in the home when cops arrived, had left by the time they had taken down Fenner's allegations and information.

The case was ultimately closed after a review of evidence, including body camera footage, and Fenner's wish to not have him arrested.

In their report, police said Fenner did not have any visible injuries on her nor did she seem distressed. She also did not say she was a victim of battery, they said.

Police were called to Johnson's home in Chicago on October 23. He had left the scene and turned himself in the next day

According to the Tribune, both Johnson and his wife's names were redacted in the documents, however, their identities were confirmed to the publication by close sources. 

The report comes weeks after Johnson turned himself in after his wife accused him of pushing her during a domestic incident at their home.

Police were called to the couple's home near 33rd Place and Racine Avenue by a third party on the night of October 23. 

Fenner is said to have accused him of turning physical after a 'verbal altercation escalated.' 

Johnson fled the scene but handed himself in to police the following afternoon. 

No charges were filed and his wife refused medical treatment. Johnson 'shoved' his 44-year-old wife, according to WBBM.  

After returning to his house that Saturday, he told a reporter: 'We had a disagreement. We are fine.'

A source close to the former chief later told the Sun Times the situation had 'been blown out of proportion.' 

It caps off a disastrous year for Johnson who has been sued by his former security guard for sexual harassment and assault, and who was fired last year after being found asleep at the wheel of his police car having had the equivalent of 10 drinks. 

Earlier last month, on October 15, Cynthia Donald accused him of sexual assault and harassment.

Donald, 45, had been drinking with him the night he was eventually found slumped at the wheel of his car. He was fired over the incident and lying about it. 

She filed a lawsuit against him in which she claimed he'd victimized her for years.

Among her claims were that he sent her nude photographs, forced her to engage in sex acts and sexually harassed her at work. 

Donald and her attorneys held a virtual press conference where they said she'd been subjected to 'sexual and emotional torture'. 

They also said he 'forced' her to go with him to the bar that night.  

She said she'd decided to come forward because she wants other women who may have been victims of his to come forward to. 

'I am a 14-year veteran of the Chicago PD,' she said.  'My hope is that other women who are also survivors will have the courage to come forward and speak out. The stories of abuse of other cops gave me the courage to speak.

'For more than three years, I was subjected to unwanted, uninvited sexual abuse, and intimidation in a hostile environment by my boss.

'He referred to me by derogatory names and in demeaning ways. 

'He referred to me as his girl. At times I was able to avoid his advances, he would tell me "you got away this time". 

'He made it clear I had to follow his orders, which included engaging in unwanted sexual acts with him in order to keep my job.'  

The lawsuit claimed he intentionally moved her onto his security detail in 2016 because he was attracted to her then, three months later, pushed her onto a couch, took off her pants and performed oral sex on her without her permission.

He then ejaculated on her, the lawsuit claims, and said: 'Now you belong to me.'  

'Superintendent Johnson used his position of power and authority over Plaintiff to pressure her into engaging in these sexual acts by conditioning her employment and advancements within (the Chicago Police Department) upon her submission to unwanted and unwelcomed sexual activity, promising her promotions, and berating her whenever she summoned the courage to resist his advances,' the lawsuit alleged. 

In 2019, when Mayor Lori Lightfoot found out about the night out that cost Johnson his career, Donald says she was treated unfairly because she was transferred to the records division of the police force.  

Lightfoot fired Johnson in extraordinary fashion, publicly shaming him for allegedly misleading her and the public. He'd been due to retire anyway. 

Johnson and Donald were seen kissing at a bar in Chicago on October 16. 

Surveillance footage showed them kissing repeatedly inside Ceres Bar, which is known for its heavy pours. 

Later that night, Johnson was found alone slumped at the wheel of his car. He had been drinking. 

The Office of the Inspector General also released a report in October which detailed the drink-driving incident.

It said that the former chief consumed around 10 drinks in the downtown bar before driving a city-owned vehicle back to CPD HQ at Bronzeville to drop Donald off.

From there he headed towards his house in Bridgeport but was discovered at the intersection of 34th Place and Aberdeen, asleep behind the wheel of the SUV.
