Family of teen pinned down by Chicago police sergeant filing lawsuit
CHICAGO (CBS)-- The family of a teen pinned down by an off-duty Chicago police sergeant is filing a civil lawsuit Tuesday.
Last summer, Michael Vitellaro was seen on video, pinning a 14-year-old boy to the ground in Park Ridge.
Vitellaro said he thought the teen stole his son's bicycle, but the teen didn't do it.
Earlier this month, a judge found Vitellaro not guilty of charges related to the incident.
Tuesday, the teen's family will announce a lawsuit against both Vitellaro and the City of Chicago.
