A woman is facing charges after allegedly stealing a Chicago police squad car and dragging an officer who found her lying naked on a street Monday in West Garfield Park.
Whitley Temple, 34, arrested Monday morning roughly 10 minutes after police said she fled in a squad car and dragged an officer.
Another video obtained by the Sun-Times shows the woman driving off with the door ajar while the officer, apparently bleeding from the head, was on the ground. Radio traffic indicated she was admitted to Stroger Hospital for a psychological evaluation. Temple tested positive for benzodiazepine, a type of psychoactive medication, and cannabinoids, which can include marijuana or CBD, prosecutors said early toxicology reports showed.
A private defense attorney described Temple as a hardworking mother whose actions were completely out of character, and said he had "reason to believe" she was sexually assaulted prior to the incident. Buckley didn’t provide specifics about the alleged assault, saying those allegations were "extremely serious" and he didn’t want to say them without verifying them.
Prosecutors filed a petition asking Judge Kelly McCarthy to hold Temple without bail, but the judge said she would wait to rule on it until Temple could appear for a hearing.
