FALSE ARREST

Excessive force False arrest or report Physical force Resisting or obstructing arrest charges Other charges filed Hospitalized

Plaintiff: Kirstie Gould

Incident date: 12/14/2013

Location: 6510 S. Halsted St.

Allegations:

Gould was at a hair salon when police entered, without a search warrant. One of the officers frisked Gould. When she asked to call her mother, who was watching her 16-month-old child, officers refused and told everyone in the salon to "Shut the f**k up!" Officer Teresi, thinking Gould was still trying to talk, said to her, "What did we tell you? We told you to shut the f**k up. Now get on the ground!" Gould got on the floor and officers handcuffed her, pushed her face into the ground, yanked her arm away from her body and pressed their knees into her back, making it hard for her to breathe. Police finally let Gould sit up to get her breath when they found out she had asthma. Gould was charged with resisting and obstructing police. The charges were dismissed.
