Case 14-CV-5362

$30,000

ILLEGAL SEARCH/SEIZURE

Home invasion Minor Illegal search/seizure

Plaintiff: Sherron Bond

Incident date: 11/15/2013

Location: 6935 S. Lowe Ave.

Allegations:

Bond was in her basement apartment in Englewood with her young daughter when she heard her ex-boyfriend beating on the window in an attempt to get into her home. Because of his history of domestic abuse, Bond called 911. While on the phone with the dispatcher, he broke in the apartment with Officer Johnson. The officer did not have a warrant. Bond demanded that the two of them leave. Her ex-boyfriend snatched the phone from her, bent her hand behind her back, then grabbed her by the neck and began to choke her. Johnson did not intervene until Bond's young daughter cried out about her mother being hurt. At this point, Officer Woods arrived. Johnson told Woods to report the incident as a battery, even though Bond insisted that Johnson and her ex-boyfriend had broken into her home. Woods did not file her complaint, and encouraged Bond not to pursue it, claiming that Johnson was a good officer who “had not had his coffee” that day.
