Plaintiff:
Sharon Spearman
Incident date:
03/01/2015
Location:
1235 S. Washtenaw Ave.
Allegations:
Spearman was at her North Lawndale home with her children, C.T. and D.R., when Sergeant Elizondo and several police officers broke down the door and entered her home with their guns drawn. Spearman was handcuffed, and the officers told her they had a warrant for her home. After illegally searching Spearman's home, the officers confessed they did not have a search warrant, and broke down the door to another apartment. In that apartment they found drugs, paraphernalia and thousands of dollars in cash. Elizondo gave Spearman $1,000 in cash for “her troubles” and left.
