Allegations:
Lewis was walking home from work and waiting to cross the intersection of North Keystone Avenue at Irving Park Road when Officer Matias drove up. Lewis waved his hand to let Matias know that he could drive on. But Matias stopped and began swearing at Lewis, then got out of the car and continued to berate him, pulling out his gun, pointing it at Lewis and identifying himself as a police officer. Lewis smelled alcohol on Matias' breath and called 911. Matias drove his car around the block and parked. When officers Niedzielak and Pinzine arrived, Lewis told them that Matias had threatened him with a gun. After talking to Matias, the officers told Lewis they couldn't arrest him because he was a police officer. Officers Rusiecka and Cho arrested Lewis and charged him with simple assault and reckless conduct. Lewis had to appear in court at least seven times, and on one occasion, Matias threatened him. The charges against Lewis were eventually dismissed.
