Illinois Police Left ‘Person in Crisis’ in a Parking Lot Alone on Cold Winter Night Before He Was Hit by a Car: Lawsuit





According to attorneys Jack Casciato and Mohammad Owaynat, Qusai Alkafaween was experiencing a mental health crisis on Dec. 5, 2020, and was briefly hospitalized at Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox, Illinois before being released to New Lenox police.

The suit says that New Lenox police officer David Dileto could be heard on video saying that police had brought Alkafaween to the border of Will County and Cook County to “basically dump [Plaintiff] off because we are not taking him all the way to Chicago and we aren’t taking him all the way into Orland Park. Hopefully, [Alkafaween] doesn’t ping pong back to [Silver Cross Hospital].”

Alkafaween’s lawyers claim that New Lenox police officers brought him to a parking lot and left him there, even though he was clearly confused and didn’t know where to go.

“This is as far as I can take you right now,” officer Jacob Klepk told Alkafaween, according to the lawsuit and body-worn camera footage. “This is Orland Park so if you start walking north there will be some businesses. Okay. Alright. Take care.”

Alkafaween’s lawyers say that he told the officer that he didn’t know where he was going, and repeatedly asked for help.

1. This is just tragic and

The officer should be arrested and charged. The hospital should have arranged transport to the other hospital. But he was a foreign man so they just didn’t care. I’m truly disgusted.

2. I'm so sick of reading about police departments hiring these kinds of people.

We need accountability in this Country.

This is so sad and those cops did this to him, because they were lazy and entitled. Fire them and arrest them.
