A Cook County judge on Monday found a Chicago police lieutenant not guilty after he stood trial on accusations that he shoved a flashlight between a clothed teen’s buttocks during an arrest.
According to prosecutors, after carjacking a man at gunpoint and taking his Mazda, the 17-year-old and another teen were spotted by Roman, who radioed in to report that they had fled on foot and he was chasing them but could not get over a gate, prosecutors said. Prosecutors argued that the teenager was not resisting arrest when they said Roman battered him with the flashlight as retribution for the carjacking and a subsequent police chase. They argued that body camera video supported their position and that other officers on scene testified that the teenager was cooperating.
“It’s a nudge, it’s a spanking. For the love of God, I’ve had nuns that treated me far worse,” McKay said.McKay accused Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx of criminalizing “a legal arrest.”
