Case 11-CV-6838

$37,500

EXCESSIVE FORCE

Excessive force Hospitalized

Plaintiff: George Montejano

Incident date: 09/29/2010

Allegations:

Montejano, a diabetic, was in the custody of the Chicago Police Department and in need of medical attention for his condition. Arrangements were made for Officers Sanchez and Pietryla to take him to the hospital. The officers learned of this task near the end of their shift and were displeased. Montejano, who was handcuffed, was placed in the hard, plastic back seat of a police sport-utility vehicle without a seatbelt. During the transport, Sanchez operated the car without regard to Montejano's safety; he drove dangerously, causing Montejano to be thrown around in the back seat and slammed against the seats and doors. As a result, Montejano suffered physical injuries.
