DeKALB – The City of DeKalb has reached a tentative settlement to pay $285,000 to Elonte McDowell, of Aurora, who sued the city in 2019 after DeKalb Sgt. Jeffery Weese placed him in a chokehold.
In August 2019, DeKalb Sgt. Jeffery Weese was shown in a video posted online of him choking McDowell during an arrest in the Lincoln Towers parking lot, 1100 W. Lincoln Highway. An additional officer also used a taser. Weese resigned from the DeKalb Police Department in February.
The settlement agreement will require City Council approval at Monday’s meeting. Council members will meet at 6 p.m. Monday at the DeKalb Public Library in the Yusunas Room, 309 Oak St., or via Zoom.

In the later evening, the film “Running Scared” was on and I was able to catch the outstanding setting for the finale, the James R. Thompson Center, referred to as “the state building”.
I couldn’t help imagining a water park inside, or all the empty space “for activities”
Filmed in winter was also a nice touch for the now as the thaw begins.
OW: Plus it’s got one of the “best” You-Can’t-Get-There-That-Way travel sequences ever filmed on the L (along with the worst fake subway scene ever).
Feeling happy. I will be able to see my mom in the nursing home soon INSIDE, not through the window.

Movers were reportedly moving items out of former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan’s apartment in Springfield’s Lincoln Towers fueling speculation he may soon resign from the Illinois House of Representatives all together.
First tweeted by WCIA reporter Mark Maxwell yesterday afternoon, Maxwell said Madigan staffers were clearing apartment furniture out of the apartment. Madigan spokesman Steve Brown later confirmed to reporters that Madigan’s apartment, one he’s occupied for 40 years, is now vacant. Brown told reporters that he no longer needs the apartment and will likely stay in hotels for session days. Brown told reporters that he had not heard whether Madigan is discussing a resignation at this time.
