Plaintiff:
Quinton Russell
Incident date:
12/20/2012
Location:
2253 E. 81st St.
Allegations:
Russell was driving a 1995 Chevrolet Monte Carlo when Officers Lorde and Gaines arrested him on suspicion of driving a stolen car. Although the car had been reported stolen in October, it was November when Russell's girlfriend had seen the car for sale outside a gas station, bought it and obtained a certificate of title. Lorde and Gaines and Detective Hines confiscated the Chevrolet even though Russell's girlfriend brought the title to the police station and Russell did not match the description of the thief. Russell was charged with felony theft and detained in Cook County Jail. The charges were dismissed one year later.
