Plaintiff:
Noble Richard Martin
Incident date:
11/22/2010
Location:
8100 S. Hermitage Ave.
Allegations:
Martin was outside a residence with his ex-wife when Officers Torres and Leonard arrived. The officers placed Martin into their police car and talked to his ex-wife, who gave them a gun she said her daughter had found in a dresser drawer. Martin denied the gun was his, yet the officers took him to the police station and charged him with failure to possess a FOID card. Leonard went back to the residence to get the ex-wife to sign a complaint for domestic battery, and then returned to the station. The officers filed false reports against Martin, claiming they had recovered the gun from a bedroom drawer. The charges against Martin were dismissed almost three years later.
