Prosecutors dropped gun charges against former Ald. Sharon Dixon (24th) Tuesday, but she has agreed to seek treatment in a 90-day inpatient program.
Last year, a Cook County judge ruled that Dixon was unfit to stand trial on charges alleging she approached Chicago Police officers outside the 10th district with a loaded gun in the spring of 2013.
Dixon, 51, was charged with unlawful use of a weapon and possessing a firearm without a license for the May 4, 2013 incident.
She was remanded to the Illinois Department of Human Services for an evaluation.

This is outrageous. How dare they charge a card-carrying member of the ruling class with anything?
Allegedly, the former alderman has a fondness for an illicit form of cocaine which is typically smoked. Her customary response to the police is “Do you know who I am?”
The police are angry that she was not locked up for claiming to have a gun when she entered a cop shop and began making threats.
becoming a pattern in Chicago?
No, you don’t get it. The law doesn’t apply to Dims, just like free speech doesn’t apply to us.
“some piggies are more equal than others”
Especially anti-gun, black, female “Progressive” Democrat Chicgo Alderwomen.
“Laws for thee, but not for me.”
Chicago needs more stringency gun control laws .
