The Chicago Police Board Thursday voted to fire one of the officers involved in the botched raid on the home of Anjanette Young.
The disciplinary charges against Wolinski also accused him of failing to adhere to rules that require knocking and announcing when executing a search warrant, not showing Young a copy of the search warrant and failure to notify or contact a SWAT team supervisor.Back in February of 2019, Young, who is a social worker, was in the middle of changing her clothes when officers raided her house.
She said she was left naked and handcuffed for 40 minutes despite pleas to officers to allow her to put her clothes on. The person they were searching for lived next door and later police learned they had bad information.
