Chicago Police Board fires sergeant for actions in Anjanette Young raid
Then-police Superintendent David Brown brought administrative charges against Wolinski in November 2021, recommending that he be fired. Wolinski, who joined the department in 2002, was accused of violating eight departmental rules, including inattention to duty, disobedience of an order and disrespect to or maltreatment of any person.
Chicago Police Board Vice President Paula Wolff leads a disciplinary hearing vote on police Sgt. Alex Wolinski during a board meeting at police headquarters on June 15, 2023. In a 5-3 decision, the board voted to fire Wolinski, as a result of his involvement in a raid on the home of resident Anjanette Young in 2019.
The source of the information that led to the raid, according to police records and sources, was Kenneth Miles — a man who was arrested in February 2022 after police allegedly saw him throw heroin from a car owned by Yolanda Talley, the CPD’s chief of internal affairs. Miles was found guilty last year of possession of a controlled substance and sentenced to two years in prison, court records show.
