Allegations:
Wright was driving on the South Side when Officers Cranston and Dimoff pulled him over for allegedly running a stop sign. After learning Wright's license had recently expired, the officers asked Wright to exit his car. Instead, he drove away. After a brief chase, Wright stopped his car, got out, kneeled and put his hands over his head to peacefully surrender. The officers tackled Wright to the ground, beating, stomping and kicking his head, chest and body. Officers Demcak and Solis shot Wright multiple times with their Tasers. Wright was then dragged to a police car, and an officer snatched one of the Taser prongs out of Wright's back. The officers transported him to a hospital, where they discouraged medical staff from documenting and fully treating Wright's injuries. Little more than an hour later, Wright was taken to a police station, where he was booked and processed. An unknown police officer inventoried Wright's property, which included $300 in cash. In the hours that followed, officers took Wright back to the hospital twice, for diabetic medication and removal of Taser darts. When Wright was transferred after that to Cook County Jail, he was told the $300 listed on his personal property receipt was missing from the bag of his possessions provided by the police. Wright was never charged with any crime and has not recovered his $300.
