The mayor said Monday his son has not received any special treatment.
Police previously said the younger Rilling took heroin, OxyContin pills and cocaine from the evidence room, saying he needed to have the drugs tested.
Rilling’s lawyer, John Gulash, said his client feels “deep remorse” for his actions.
