Nikkita Brown, who was detained by Chicago police Officer Bruce Dyker while walking her dog at North Avenue Beach, has filed a federal suit.
CHICAGO -- Nikkita Brown, the woman who was grabbed and forcibly detained by a Chicago cop at North Avenue Beach last year, filed a federal lawsuit Thursday claiming excessive force.Bruce Dyker, the officer who grabbed her, resigned from the department last month before any disciplinary charges could be handed down. And he was charged last week in Cook County with felony aggravated battery and official misconduct in connection with the incident.
Brown's attorney, Michael Gallagher, said the lawsuit"details the horrendous misconduct Officer Dyker has committed over the past 20 years on the force. The complaint is intended to not only hold him accountable, but the city of Chicago. The same City that has refused to hold officers like him accountable. That stops now.
Brown was walking her French bulldog along the lakefront when she encountered Dyker, who told her the beach was closed and she needed to leave.
