ILLEGAL SEARCH/SEIZURE

On duty Racial epithets Threats/intimidation Illegal search/seizure

Plaintiff: Alfonso Brown

Incident date: 03/31/2014

Location: 1133 N. Springfield Ave.

Allegations:

Brown was sitting on the front step of his sister's home when officers arrived and started harassing him. Officer Evans ordered Brown to "get your ass off the porch" and come over to him. Brown knocked on his sister's door for help, and Evans ordered Officer Vargas to "go get him." Vargas jumped the fence, grabbed Brown, and handcuffed him. Brown's sister called 911. Evans intercepted the call, telling the dispatcher to ignore the call and further calls from the location. Evans told Officer Waldbuesser to charge Brown with "something," and when Brown's sister continued asking questions, he told Waldbuesser to add charges. Waldbuesser issued Brown a ticket, which he was told carried $3,000 in fines. Evans taunted Brown while he was detained, calling him "dumb ass" and "mulatto" and daring Brown to sue him. The charges against Brown were dropped.
