Officer Mark Buell – Evanston Police Department

Written by CBKN76

In 2013, Officer Mark Buell was involved in an incident where he detained and handcuffed 13-year-old Diwani Greenwell outside his home while investigating a burglary. Despite Greenwell not matching the suspect’s description, Buell proceeded with the detention, leading to a federal lawsuit alleging unreasonable search and seizure, false imprisonment, and assault. The lawsuit also highlighted offensive images from a Facebook page purportedly created by Buell.

Why This Matters
