OTHER POLICE MISCONDUCT

Home invasion Legal access denied Physical force

Plaintiff: Octavio Nava

Incident date: 05/22/2005

Location: 6551 S. Oakley Blvd.

Allegations:

Nava was in his Chicago Lawn apartment when officers forced their way inside, searching and ransacking the home as they made their way to the basement and to Nava's room. They entered Nava's bedroom with their guns drawn and ordered Nava to get on the floor, where they began to kick and stomp on his head. The officers handcuffed him so tightly that the handcuffs cut into his wrists, causing him to lose feeling in them. Nava complained to the officers, who told him that the handcuffs were not meant for comfort. Detectives Salemme and Schober approached Nava and began punching him with a closed first in the stomach, ribs and kidneys for about 30 minutes while making sarcastic remarks. Nava began screaming and demanding his lawyer. All the while, Nava was bleeding from his mouth, nose and inner jaw wall. Nava was taken to the Area 4 Police Headquarters and placed in a locked room. Detectives Munoz and BOR came into the room to question him. While one asked the questions, the other detective punched Nava in the mouth, ribs or chest when he asked for a lawyer or didn't answer a question. After the assault, which lasted for about an hour, Nava was taken into another room with no chairs or benches. He was forced to sit on the cold floor, bleeding from his face. Nava requested medical assistance several times, but was denied. After eight hours, when Nava was allowed to use the bathroom, he noticed blood in his urine. As a result, he was taken to the hospital where he was treated for internal bleeding.
