$1.75 million settlement reached of woman found hanged at South Side police station
The settlement would resolve a federal civil rights lawsuit filed by the sister of Irene Chavez, 33, found hanged in a police holding cell in December 2021 after being arrested on a charge of simple battery. The lawsuit accused officers involved in the arrest of denying her basic medical care after she repeatedly asserted she was a veteran dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder.
