Mom arrested in “melee” with cops
Posted May 1st, 2008 by minortopics | via www.suntimes.comA mom as well as five others were arrested on Chicago’s South Side after they allegedly got into a tangle with police who had converged on the woman’s home. What makes the story even more interesting is that one of the people arrested was a part of the whole Ryan Harris murder mess from several years ago.
Sonya Crawford, 41, is charged with aggravated battery of a police officer for her alleged actions Tuesday night.
Police arrested six people, including two juveniles, at the Crawford home. At least one other person will face felony charges, Bond said. One of the people arrested, 18-year-old Elijah Henderson, has a difficult history with police.
As an 8-year-old, Henderson and a then-7-year-old friend were arrested and charged with killing 11-year-old Ryan Harris — charges that were later dropped.
In the end, Henderson’s family agreed to a $6.2 million settlement with the City of Chicago.
Sounds like the Hendersons haven’t received that check yet…
