After misidentifying him as a wanted man, Chicago police shocked a motorist with their Tasers 11 times in four minutes, the man alleges in a federal lawsuit filed Thursday against the city.
Tapia, 27, was charged after the confrontation with several counts of aggravated battery on a police officer and resisting arrest. Prosecutors said he fought with the officers, swinging his arms, kicking his feet and stiffening his body.
But Tapia was found not guilty of all charges in a jury trial last week.
Tapia has a prior criminal record, including a conviction on a 2006 charge of aggravated battery on a police officer, for which he served two years of probation, court records show.
