An East St. Louis police officer faces charges for keeping officers from another department from doing their jobs.
Belleville police say they were trying to break up a teen fight when Debra Simpkins arrived and identified herself as an officer.
A police report says she then used profanities, accused the Belleville officers of being racist and allegedly agitated the crowd, who then rallied behind her.
Simpkins is due in St. Clair County Court July 10th.
