Plaintiff:
Charles Wilson
Incident date:
12/07/2014
Location:
10700 S. Lafayette Ave.
Allegations:
Officers stopped Wilson while he was walking with a group of people, including his cousin, Dominique Terry, who had an outstanding arrest warrant. During the stop, Officers Kelly and Bastien asked to see ID from Wilson and Terry. After reviewing their identification, Kelly gave Wilson's ID to Terry, but kept Terry's ID. Police then arrested Wilson for the warrant that was pending for Terry. Wilson told officers multiple times that he was not Terry and that they had the wrong person, but the officers ignored him. Wilson was taken to the 5th District and held on the warrant pending for Terry. The next day a judge confirmed Wilson was not Terry and he was released.
