Plaintiff:
Kenya Dantzler
Incident date:
03/05/2010
Location:
6816 S. Campbell Ave.
Allegations:
Dantzler was in her first-floor apartment in Chicago Lawn with her minor child and two children she was babysitting when officers banged on her door. She answered the door and saw Jenkins, Ridgell and another officer in the hallway with their guns pointed at her. They entered the apartment without permission and without a search warrant looking for the boyfriend of Dantzler's sister. She told the officers that the two did not live in her apartment. The officers took Dantzler into one of the bedrooms and told her she could not leave. They searched her home for five hours, even looking in small drawers and containers.
