The sergeant, who had been a member of the Chicago Police Department since 2002, was accused of violating eight departmental rules, including inattention to duty, disobedience of an order, and mistreatment of individuals.
In addition to the board’s ruling, the Civilian
Office of Police Accountability also called for Wolinski’s termination, and the suspension of several other officers involved in the raid.
However, no other officers have faced charges from the Police Board concerning the incident. The raid occurred before former Mayor Lori Lightfoot assumed office in May 2019.
But her administration subsequently attempted to prevent the release of police video footage of the incident on television and rejected Young’s Freedom of Information request to obtain the footage.
Young eventually obtained the footage through her lawsuit.
