Location:
5701 W. Madison St.
Allegations:
Jones, Lewis, Pleas and Smith were sitting in a car parked on West Madison Street, across the street from the 15th District police station, talking to friends, when Officers Esquivel and Valentin came up and ordered the group out of the car. They were joined by other officers, who searched the plaintiffs and their belongings without consent or a warrant, then told them to return to their vehicle. A female officer believed to be a sergeant came out from the 15th district station and talked with the officers. The officers ordered the four out of the car again and searched them again. Then all four of them were arrested and brought across the street to the police station. They were charged with mob action, but the charges were later dismissed.
