Chicago police Officer Chris Hillas, who was charged after punching a man wounded in a University Village shooting, had his charges dropped.
CHICAGO -- Charges have been dropped against a Chicago police officer accused of repeatedly punching a man while he was restrained in police custody before he was taken to a hospital for treatment of a gunshot wound he suffered in an exchange of gunfire with other officers in University Village.
During the purported search, Hillas punched Jefferson four times in the groin with a closed fist before another officer pulled him away, prosecutors said. Hillas allegedly tried to walk back toward Jefferson but was prevented from doing so by other officers. During Jefferson's bond hearing days later, prosecutors said officers didn't realize Jefferson was wounded until after he was placed in custody and made no mention at the time that an officer was accused of striking Jefferson.
Jefferson then ran to the nearby 12th District police station parking lot and placed his hands on a car, waiting for officers to arrest him, prosecutors said. While Hillas was patting down Jefferson's clothing, Hillas got down on his knees and felt a bulge in Jefferson's pocket, Grace said.
