Courthouse News Service: CHICAGO (CN) - A former fireman who was arrested while using a big rubber boot to solicit charitable donations cannot sue the police, the 7th Circuit ruled.
Officer Dennis Mushol with the Chicago Police Department first encountered John Tebbens in October 2005 as Tebbens stood at a busy intersection soliciting donations for his charity, Helping Children of Abuse.
Mushol says Tebbens was using a fireman's black boot as a collection container and proffered a firefighter's identification card when Mushol began questioning him.
