Case No.

COMPLAINT AND DEMAND FOR JURY TRIAL
1.

Plaintiff Jaylan Butler has always known that he could be targeted by police

officers because he is Black. Mr. Butler’s father taught him at a young age how to maximize his
chances of surviving an encounter with law enforcement—stop instantly, put your hands up,
drop anything you are holding, and drop to your knees. Mr. Butler hoped he would never have to
use his father’s advice. His hope was shattered on February 24, 2019 when, within minutes, Mr.
Butler went from riding on a bus with his college swim team returning from a conference
championship swim meet, to being forcefully held on the ground by police officers with a
handgun pressed into his forehead while a police officer threatened to “blow [his] fucking head
off” if he moved. Even once the police officers realized that this was a case of mistaken identity
and that Mr. Butler had committed no crime, they continued with his detention and arrest.

FACTS
10.

Mr. Butler attends Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Illinois, and is a

member of the school’s swim team.
11.

In February 2019, the Eastern Illinois University swim team competed in the

Summit League Swimming and Diving Championships in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
12.

On February 24, 2019, the Eastern Illinois University swim team was traveling by

charter bus from South Dakota back to Charleston, Illinois. After several hard days of
swimming, Mr. Butler was looking forward to relaxing and socializing with his teammates on the
long bus ride home.
13.

Shortly after 8:00 p.m., the bus pulled over on a frontage road off of Interstate 80

near a rest stop in East Moline, Illinois. Mr. Butler and several students stepped off the bus to
stretch their legs. One of Mr. Butler’s coaches suggested he take a photo of a road sign that said
“Buckle Up. It’s the Law” to post on the team’s social media account. Mr. Butler took a photo of
himself smiling in front of the sign, and then began walking back toward the bus.
14.

After only a few steps, several law enforcement vehicles with flashing lights

suddenly pulled up in front of him.
15.

Defendants Staes and Bush were in one of those vehicles. On information and

belief, Defendants Asquini, Pena, Doe 1, and Doe 2 were in separate vehicles.
16.

When Mr. Butler saw the law enforcement vehicles pull up, he was surprised and

confused, but knew what to do. He instantly stopped, put his hands up, dropped the cell phone
that was in his hand, and dropped to his knees.

3

 4:20-cv-04007-SLD-JEH # 1

17.

Page 4 of 13

Mr. Butler had not committed or attempted to commit any crime. The officers did

not observe Mr. Butler committing any crime, attempting to commit any crime, or behaving
suspiciously.
18.

Defendants exited the vehicles with their firearms pointed at Mr. Butler. At least

one Defendant was carrying what appeared to be a rifle.
19.

Defendants shouted at Mr. Butler: “Get down!” and “Don’t fucking move! Stay

right there!”
20.

Mr. Butler kept his hands up and complied with Defendants’ orders.

21.

Defendants forced Mr. Butler to lie face down on the snowy ground.

22.

On information and belief, Defendants Staes, Asquini, Pena, and additional

Defendants held Mr. Butler down while Defendant Bush handcuffed his arms behind his back.
23.

At least one Defendant had his knee pressed into Mr. Butler’s back, and at least

one Defendant was pressing down on Mr. Butler’s neck.
24.

Another Defendant was squatting down in front of Mr. Butler. He put his handgun

against Mr. Butler’s forehead and said, “If you keep moving, I’m going to blow your fucking
head off.”
25.

Mr. Butler was unarmed and did not exhibit any behavior to suggest he was

carrying a weapon.
26.

Mr. Butler did not resist Defendants and complied with all of Defendants’ orders.

27.

Mr. Butler never threatened Defendants or anyone else, or made any threatening

movements.

4

28.

Page 5 of 13

The charter bus driver asked Defendants what they were doing with his passenger.

Mr. Butler’s swim coach explained to the officers that Mr. Butler was part of the Eastern Illinois
University swim team.
29.

Mr. Butler also tried to explain to Defendants that he was part of the Eastern

Illinois University swim team and the charter bus was the swim team’s bus.
30.

Defendants quickly realized that Mr. Butler was not the suspect for whom they

were searching. Defendant Staes informed the local dispatcher that it was a false alarm.
31.

After several minutes of forcing Mr. Butler to lie face down on the ground while

handcuffed, Defendants allowed Mr. Butler to sit up. They did not, however, remove his
handcuffs or inform him that he was free to go, even though they had already recognized that
Mr. Butler was not the suspect for whom they were searching.
32.

Defendants told Mr. Butler he was being arrested for resisting arrest.

33.

Defendants had no justification for continuing to detain Mr. Butler.

34.

After several more minutes of sitting on the ground handcuffed, Defendants

picked up Mr. Butler and forced him over to a squad car. Defendants patted him down, searched
inside of his coat pockets, and placed him in the back of a squad car.
35.

Defendants left Mr. Butler in the squad car for several minutes.

36.

Thereafter, Defendants finally removed Mr. Butler’s handcuffs and asked him to

retrieve his identification card from the bus. Mr. Butler complied and was released from police
custody.
37.

Defendants never told Mr. Butler why they detained and arrested him, particularly

after recognizing that he was not the suspect for whom they were searching.

5

 4:20-cv-04007-SLD-JEH # 1

38.

Page 6 of 13

Mr. Butler informed at least two Defendants that he wanted to make a complaint.

The first Defendant ignored him. The second Defendant said, “There’s nothing I can do.”
Neither Defendant gave Mr. Butler any of the Defendants’ names, badge numbers, law
enforcement agency affiliations, or any other information to enable him to file a complaint.
39.

Defendants did not document the stop and search as required under the Illinois

Traffic and Pedestrian Stop Statistical Study Act, 625 ILCS 5/11-212.
40.

Defendants did not give Mr. Butler a receipt for the stop and search as required

under 725 ILCS 5/107-14.
41.

Mr. Butler was traumatized by this incident. Since the event, he has felt angry,

scared, and depressed. He has had trouble concentrating at school and participating in activities.
42.

In class the next day, Mr. Butler found himself staring down at the bruises around

his wrists, replaying the previous night’s events in his head until finally he realized his class had
ended and he was the only person still sitting there.
43.

Over the next several months, Mr. Butler tried to keep a positive outlook and not

think about this frightening incident, but his emotions still surfaced. He became acutely aware of
the presence of police officers, and seemingly innocuous events would trigger feelings of fear
and anxiety. One day, upon seeing multiple officers responding to a car accident, he began to
tear up as he relived his experience with Defendants.
44.

Mr. Butler began seeing a therapist to address the trauma and depression caused

by Defendants’ conduct.
45.

Defendants’ unlawful conduct directly and proximately caused Mr. Butler’s

emotional distress.
