| Subject: Black woman handcuffed naked in raid at wrong home set to get $2.9 million from Chicago Tue Dec 14, 2021 9:40 pm | |
| Anjanette Young sued the city and several police officers over the 2019 botched raid at her apartment.
The Chicago City Council is set to vote on a $2.9 million settlement for Anjanette Young, a Black woman who sued the city and several police officers over a botched 2019 raid at her apartment.
Young, a social worker, was handcuffed while she was naked. She sobbed and told officers that they were at the wrong home, but she remained in handcuffs, according to a report from the Civilian Office of Police Accountability.
The City Council's Finance Committee unanimously approved the settlement Monday, the Chicago Tribune reported. It will move on to the full council's agenda for a vote Wednesday.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot said she was "comfortable" with the settlement, the newspaper reported.
“I think it’s a good thing this matter is resolved,” she said at an unrelated news conference Monday.
The mayor's office and an attorney for Young could not immediately be reached for comment.
Young's first-floor apartment was raided in February 2019 after Officer Alain Aporongao obtained a search warrant using information from an anonymous source. The source told Aporongao that an acquaintance had brandished an illegal weapon at a home, the report stated.
