Bodycam Footage Shows Naked Woman Wrongfully Arrested in Her Home
Chicago police burst into an innocent woman’s home and arrested her while she was naked — using a warrant with the wrong information, newly obtained police body camera footage shows.
The harrowing incident happened to Anjanette Young, 50, in February 2019 — but videos of it only just emerged following a court battle between the city and CBS Chicago, which aired the damning footage Tuesday.
Nine police body cameras show the team of all-male cops using a battering ram to break through Young’s door and then arresting her while she’s standing naked in her living room.
“I’m just standing there. Terrified. Humiliated. Not even understanding why in that moment that this is happening to me,” Young told CBS Chicago.
