Ryan Slaski will be held on a $10,000 D-bond following his arrest on a hate crime charge, as well as additional counts of criminal damage to property and possession of a controlled substance.
According to Cook County prosecutors, Slaski was at the Clark and Lake Blue Line stop at around 3 p.m. Thursday when police officers observed him using a Sharpie to write something on a CTA sign.
That sign listed each of the various CTA train lines, and at the bottom, Slaski allegedly wrote “Black Line” and added what prosecutors described as a “derogatory racial term” beside it. Officers saw him finish writing and placed him under arrest. Slaski allegedly identified himself in surveillance video, stating that while he was by the sign and did write something, he couldn’t remember what it was that he wrote.which has been promoted by hate groups. That has drawn warnings from law enforcement and public officials across Illinois and beyond.
“Obviously this was an offense designed to promote hate,” Judge Ankur Srivastava said during Slaski’s bond hearing.
