A Chicago police lieutenant allegedly shoved a flashlight between the buttocks of a handcuffed carjacking suspect and then yelled to the 17-year-old, “That’s what you get for carjacking,” prosecutors said Thursday at a felony bond hearing for the officer.

Lt. Wilfredo Roman, 44, and other officers had just caught up to a 17-year-old boy when the incident, which was recorded on police body-worn cameras, took place on the evening of Feb. 9.

The teen allegedly carjacked a man at gunpoint and later bailed out of the car and ran off after police gave chase. The teen surrendered in an alley in the 2000 block of North Leclaire Avenue in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood as he tried to scale a fence that he’d just tossed a gun over, prosecutors said.

Roman is charged with aggravated battery in the public way and official misconduct, both felonies.

Wow, I had no idea a cop could make $138,150 a year, I'm so naive.
