Black Chicagoan with Same Name As Fugitive Spent 15 Years Being Stopped, Detained, Abused By Police In Case of Mistaken Identity, Lawsuit Claims
Darren Cole has had numerous encounters with Chicago police over the past 15 years. By his own estimates, he’s been pulled over by Windy City cops between 40 and 60 times since 2006.
During those roadside run-ins, Cole has been punched by officers, berated, handcuffed, rousted against the hoods of squad cars and dragged to the police station numerous times, he says. Police have even drawn their guns on him during stops. But during all those traffic stops, one thing police have never done is charge the 50-year-old Black man.
