Plaintiff: Gayle Foltin

Incident date: 08/14/2009

Location: 8200 S. Cottage Grove Ave.

Allegations:

Foltin was a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over by Officers Ugarte and Candelario. The officers told Foltin and the driver to get out of the car and they began searching them and the vehicle. An unidentified female officer arrived and either Officer Ugarte or Candelario instructed her to conduct a "protective search" on Foltin, who was wearing a tight fitting summer dress. The female officer ran her hand over Foltin's chest, reached under and pulled on her bra, and inserted fingers into her body cavities without justification. Officers found nothing illegal during their search of Foltin, the driver or vehicle and released them without filing charges.
