A Park Ridge family has filed a lawsuit in civil court against Chicago Police Sergeant Michael Vitellaro and the City of Chicago for actions the officer took against their then-14-year-old son during a dispute over a bicycle last year.
Attorney Antonio Romanucci, Angel and Nicole Nieves and attorney Javier Rodriguez at a press conference, June 27, 2023.
A spokesperson for the Chicago Police Department, Don Terry, said the department does not comment on pending litigation. A spokesperson for the City of Chicago legal department, Kristen Cabanban, said the department would review the suit and that the city does not comment on pending cases. The complaint covers seven counts against Vitellaro for false imprisonment, negligence, assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress and willful and wanton conduct.
The boy who was pinned, now 15 and a rising sophomore at Maine South High School, is of Puerto Rican descent. The fact that the family had hired the law firm shortly after the incident was itself a factor in Pavlus’ verdict, he said.He predicted that in a civil trial, Vitellaro would be required to testify in court.On Tuesday, Romanucci returned to the fact that Vitellaro had never been cross examined or “had the benefit of being in front of a jury.”
