What started as a traffic stop centered around an unworn seat belt ended with police officers shattering a vehicle’s window and using a Taser on a passenger, an Indiana family alleges in a lawsuit filed Monday.
Video of the Sept. 24 traffic stop was recorded by a 14-year-old in the backseat of the car when the family was stopped while en route to John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County to visit the driver’s mother.T he driver, Lisa Mahone, said she became fearful when Hammond police officers Patrick Vicari and Charles Turner put spike strips in front of the vehicle after pulling her over in a manner that was "highly aggressive," she said in her complaint.
