Former CPD commander sues city, IPRA, and WBEZ over “conspiracy”
Glenn Evans, formerly a CPD commander, is suing the city, IPRA, and NPR affiliate WBEZ. The lawsuit alleges that “he was the victim of a civil conspiracy that led to his wrongful prosecution on criminal charges,” and that “an IPRA employee with a grudge against Evans was out for revenge,” DNAinfo reported. Evans was acquitted of charges that he shoved a gun down a suspect’s throat. [DNAinfo Chicago]
