Plaintiff:
Raymond Hudson
Incident date:
08/20/2012
Location:
4951 W. Maypole Ave.
Allegations:
Hudson was double parked, talking to a friend, when Officers Belcik and Diblich approached his car and told him to get out. Hudson asked why they wanted him to get out. Officer Diblich replied that he had to because Officer Belcik had said so. Hudson got out of his car. The officers grabbed Hudson, turned him around and handcuffed his arms behind his back, with his arms extending upward. They searched him and pushed him into the police car with his arms still extended. The officers then searched his car. During the time that Hudson was in the squad car, he asked the officers to remove the handcuffs because he could not feel any sensation in his right arm. The officers refused to remove the handcuffs and kept Hudson's arms elevated. After 30 minutes, the officers took Hudson out of the police car, removed the handcuffs and handed him a parking ticket for being double parked. The officers then left the scene. As a result, Hudson suffered handcuff palsy to his right arm and a swollen left wrist. He was never arrested or fingerprinted.
