Hulk Hogan Given Unauthorized Ride In CPD Squad Car, Police Say

CHICAGO (CBS) -- An internal affairs investigation is underway into a Chicago police officer and his supervisors for a ride given to former pro wrestler Hulk Hogan.

In a video posted on his Facebook page August 2, Hogan is seen in the front seat of a squad car riding across the tarmac at O'Hare International Airport.

Around that same time Hogan was scheduled to sign autographs at a sports convention in Rosemont.

A Chicago police spokesperson said Saturday that the escort was not authorized.

In a statement he added, "We are in the process of revoking credentials for the officer to operate a vehicle on airport grounds pending the investigation."
