Hunter was at a store in the North Lawndale neighborhood when Officers Garza and Ormond walked in and grabbed him. Officer Hood was in the doorway and assisted with the stop. Mayer and Michon arrived at the scene and helped search and arrest Hunter without reason to believe that he had committed a crime. Ormond, Garza and Hood filed felony drug charges against Hunter. He was in jail for three weeks as a result of these charges, which were later dismissed.
