Feds Drop Case Against Man Accused of Injuring Greg Bovino’s GroinBorder Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino accused of violating restraining order by throwing tear gas in Little Village
Greg Bovino Immediately Flouts Chicago Court Order, Lawyers Say
The man who federal agents accused of dealing Greg Bovino a groin injury from which the Border Patrol commander purportedly needed two weeks to recover will no longer face charges after prosecutors on Monday moved to drop their case against him.
Per a motion to dismiss the complaint, federal prosecutors will no longer pursue a charge of impeding a federal officer. Cole Sheridan, the protester, was initially charged with assaulting and impeding a federal officer over an Oct. 3 protest in which a Homeland Security Investigations agent accused the man of shoving Bovino. Prosecutors could still bring charges against Sheridan in another form.
Bovino has become a one-man flashpoint in Operation Midway Blitz, the administration’s escalation in Chicago, orchestrating showy stunts like a raid on a South Side apartment complex last month that involved Black Hawk helicopters. More recently, Bovino made a series of bizarre tactical hand gestures as he left a court hearing last week while surrounded by press.
Footage of the alleged altercation failed to support the assault claim, per reports from the hearing.
Bovino can't obey court orders and yet again DHS exaggerates incidents to threaten protestors with legal troubles.
