Case 12-CV-5175

$78,000

EXCESSIVE FORCE/SERIOUS

Plainclothes Minor Excessive force Physical force Hospitalized

Plaintiff: Doris Daniels

Incident date: 03/24/2012

Location: 6354 S. Cottage Grove Ave.

Allegations:

Daniels and her 13-year-old son were at a pharmacy when the teen began to feel ill and stepped outside to get some fresh air. Soon after, Daniels heard her son shout for her, went outside and saw Officers Ruiz and McVey, who were in plainclothes, push her son against the building. One officer then threw him to the ground and handcuffed him. When Daniels explained that the young man was her son, the officers took the handcuffs off him but refused to identify themselves and left. Daniels called an ambulance to take her son to a hospital, where he was diagnosed with a spinal fracture, a sprained wrist and bruising on his shoulder. The young man has since had to undergo extensive medical treatment, physical therapy and psychotherapy.
