Plaintiff:
Alonzo Andrews
Incident date:
05/17/2015
Location:
10513 S. Edbrooke Ave
Allegations:
Andrews, who was employed as an armed security guard, was standing on private property when Officers Darko, Garibay and Whigham pulled up in an unmarked police vehicle. The officers, who were not in uniform, approached Andrews after he refused to approach the vehicle himself. They attempted to search him. After arresting Andrews, the officers searched his bag, which contained his gun along with his firearm owners identification card and security guard license. Andrews repeatedly asked the officers what he had done wrong, but they ignored him and took him to the station. The officers filed a false report and kept Andrews in custody for a couple of hours. In addition to the false report, the officers failed to inventory Andrews' vintage Chicago Bulls hat, which he never got back.
