but approached Jefferson once he was placed in custody and was standing outside a squad car, Cook County prosecutors said Thursday.
Hillas faces felony charges of aggravated battery and official misconduct. He turned himself in Wednesday, according to a statement from the police department. During Jefferson’s bond hearing days later, prosecutors said officers didn’t realize Jefferson was wounded until after he was placed in custody and made no mention at the time that an officer was accused of striking Jefferson.Shortly before the shooting, officers who were monitoring a Chicago Housing Authority surveillance camera allegedly saw Jefferson remove a gun from his waistband and hold it at his side, prosecutors previously said.
Hillas conducted a search of Jefferson out of concern that a weapon wasn’t immediately found after the exchange of gunfire between Jefferson and the officers and that Jefferson might have concealed a gun in his clothing, Grace said. When Jefferson’s stomach touched Hillas’ head, the officer believed he was about to be attacked and he stood up quickly, striking his head against another officer’s head at the scene, Grace said.
