A CPS teacher was charged with two felony counts of stalking after a confrontation with officers outside of Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s home.
Garrett McLinn was also charged with disorderly conduct and five counts of resisting a police officer, according to police. The arrest took place on the Logan Square block where Lightfoot lives.
McLinn is a physical education teacher and a track and field coach at Taft High School, according to his LinkedIn biography. He has not been at the school since early March, according to CPS sources.A spokespoerson for the Chicago Teachers Union did not immediately respond to a request for comment on McLinn’s arrest.
In early 2022, a man upset over multiple traffic citations allegedly began stalking Lightfoot near her home over the course of a month, repeatedly driving by her residence while carrying a firearm that he eventually fired five times in an alley nearby, prosecutors said.
