FALSE ARREST

Plainclothes False arrest or report Other charges filed Hospitalized

Plaintiff: Terry Coleman

Incident date: 09/14/2012

Location: 4244 S. Wentworth Ave.

Allegations:

Coleman, who had lost money in a scam run out of a truck, saw the truck at a gas station at 43rd Street and South Wentworth Avenue and called police. When Sgt. Vucko arrived, he began searching Coleman and asked him his gang affiliation. Coleman said he was a father of four who took care of his kids. When Vucko found a Link card on Coleman, he said, “No! I take care of your f**king kids! That's my f**king tax money on that card!” Officers Boreczky and Lindstrom, who had arrived at the scene earlier, handcuffed Coleman and placed him in the police truck. He was taken to a police station and charged with making a false report. The charges against him were dismissed.
