Allegations:
On Christmas Eve, V.U., a minor, was at home playing video games with his cousins when another relative left to go to a store. The relative was jumped by a group of attackers outside the store, and a fight broke out. As the relative ran back toward the house, Officer Haleem ran after him and shoved a baseball bat between the front door and the door frame to keep the family from closing it. Annette Wright, V.U.'s mother, grabbed the bat and tried to push it away, but eventually let go of it. Officer Haleem then ran into the home and hit V.U. in the head with the bat, knocking him off his chair. Haleem then threw V.U. outside through a window. V.U. was taken to the police station, to Holy Cross Hospital for treatment, back to the station and then to the Juvenile Detention Center at 39th Street and California Avenue. Police charged V.U. with aggravated battery to a police officer. The case was later dismissed.
