Plaintiff:
Genesis Alejandre
Incident date:
07/17/2014
Location:
2258 W. 21st Pl.
Allegations:
Alejandre, Jaime and their dogs were inside a gated courtyard within Jaime's apartment complex when Officer Salgado threatened to shoot the animals if they were not put on leashes. Salgado then locked the two women inside of the courtyard, entered Jaime's apartment and searched it. Once the women were able to escape the courtyard, Alejandre began to record Salgado's misconduct on her cellphone. Noticing this, Salgado forcefully detained Alejandre and Jaime, who was pregnant, as they attempted to keep hold of the phone. The phone eventually fell and Salgado took it. He left Jaime's apartment, searched Alejandre's phone and erased the video that she recorded.
