OPINION
In August 2009 defendant Hollis Dorrough, a former police detective, was convicted of perjury, unlawful sale of a firearm, and two counts of official misconduct following a jury trial. He appeals his official misconduct convictions only, claiming his violations of police department regulations cannot sustain a conviction under subsection (a) of the official misconduct statute, section 33—3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 (720 ILCS 5/33—3(a) (West 2008)). We reverse his official misconduct convictions.
