Plaintiff:
Martin Edward Lewis
Incident date:
04/07/2011
Location:
10000 W. O'Hare Ave.
Allegations:
Lewis, a member of American Airlines' frequent flyer program, was at O'Hare International Airport to try to book a flight to Los Angeles for a business trip. Officer Glowacki, who was in plainclothes, approached Lewis while he was looking at flight times at the terminal and asked Lewis to follow him. Officer Glowacki brought Lewis outside the terminal where other officers were waiting and arrested him without justification. Lewis was taken to the Jefferson Park police station where he was fingerprinted and had his mug shot taken while officers rummaged through his luggage and laptop computer. Finding nothing illegal, officers charged Lewis with criminal trespassing. Later, a jury found Lewis not guilty.
