Evanston Man Sues Police Chief, City Over ‘HIV’ Social Media Post
VANSTON, IL — One of the dozens of men whose images, birthdays and addresses were publicly posted to a personal social media account of Evanston Police Chief Demitrous Cook filed a federal civil rights lawsuit Sunday against the city, the police department and the chief, in both his personal and official capacity.
Kevin Logan’s personal information was annotated with handwritten notes saying, “Pending” and “HIV” in screenshots of the chief’s since-deleted post. Notes next to other booking photographs included “DOA [dead on arrival]” and “In custody.”
