Allegations:
White walked to Cook County Jail to inquire about how he could get a job with a construction company performing work on the jail complex. He approached a Cook County Sheriff's Deputy, who directed him to another part of the facility. When he asked a deputy there the same question, the deputy threatened White, who was was standing on the sidewalk, with arrest. Deputies then walked over to White, handcuffed him without justification and called Chicago Police. Officers Hernandez and Doyle arrived, took White into custody and transported him to the 10th District. At no point did officers tell White why he'd been arrested or read him his rights. At the station, Officers Doyle and Matthews strip-searched White. They also denied White a phone call and food while he was in custody. Officers charged White with trespassing, but didn't tell him what he was charged with and instead just gave him an I-Bond receipt with nothing but a number on it and released him from custody. The trespassing charge was later dismissed.
