Case 14-CV-4023

$60,000

FALSE ARREST

Home invasion On duty Threats/intimidation False arrest or report Drug charges Weapons charges

Plaintiff: Charles Jones

Incident date: 06/01/2012

Location: 5645 S. Carpenter

Allegations:

Officers executed a search warrant for Jones late one morning. Officer Olson had obtained authorization to execute the search warrant based on an individual who claimed to have purchased heroin from Jones. Olson had shown the individual a photograph of Jones, which had his home address on it, to verify that Jones had sold heroin to the individual. Jones was at the address the officers had secured the search warrant for, although the officers did not verify if it was the same address written on the photograph. During the search, officers found old ammunition in a drawer and 31 grams of cannabis underneath a floor vent. At least two or more officers, telling Jones that they knew he worked at Ceasefire, demanded he provide information regarding other criminal activity and the location of a weapon. If Jones did not comply, the officers said, they would charge him with the ammunition and cannabis. One officer told Jones he could be locked up for a long time if he did not cooperate. Jones did not provide the desired information, and the officers arrested him for unlawful use of a weapon and possession of cannabis. The false reports led to Jones being indicted on weapons charges; nearly two years after the initial search, Jones was found not guilty.
