Today a new lawsuit was filed in Federal Court against McHenry County Sheriff Keith Nygren, the McHenry County Sheriff's Department, Dep. Nulle, the Village of Wonder Lake and Wonder Lake Police Officer Harding. The lawsuit, Case No. 3:13-cv-50391, was filed on behalf of David Ohlrich, by Louis Meyer, of Meyer & Kiss, LLC, in Chicago.
Ohlrich was arrested a year ago, on December 25, 2012, after he was awakened by Ofc. Harding and Dep. Nulle. He was sleeping when his sister called paramedics about her chest pains. His sister met the paramedics and talked to them outside the house in Wonder Lake. Ohlrich was arrested on charges of domestic battery, even though his sister made no complaint and had no injuries. Charges against him were nolle prossed on March 18, 2013.
This paragraph attracted my attenion: "12. Defendant NYGREN is being sued in his individual capacity in a Section 1983 claim in that he was deliberately indifferent to the actions of Defendant NULLE, described more fully below."
Under Count III at Paragraph 44, the Complaint reads, in part, "The incident alleged in this Complaint was part of a pattern and practice of Defendant NYGREN in failing to properly supervise his officers."
You never know who is interested…

In every lawsuit that I have either been a defendant or a witness, they included the Superintendent as a defendant . The fact that they included Nygren means nothing.
