Four Officers Hurt
- A Lakeview man who initially refused to press charges after being beaten with a hammer during an online hook-up Friday evening had a change of heart and decided to prosecute after the alleged offender injured several officers during a confrontation in the heart of Boystown hours later.
Police say 29-year-old Cedrick Johnson of Uptown met a 47-year-old man in the 600 block of West Aldine on Friday evening. At some point, Johnson, who used the name “Lamar” online, struck the victim repeatedly in the head with a hammer and stole property, including the man’s cellular phone, according to a police report and a source.
About two hours later, the victim told police that he no longer wished to pursue charges against his attacker and officers canceled evidence technician services for the scene, where a hammer was found and blood was spattered on walls and throughout a bedroom, reports show.
The victim was treated and released from Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center for multiple “indentations of the cranium,” an officer said.
So the victim, with multiple "indentations of the cranium," initially decided to drop the matter. Fine. But later:
- Later, around 12:50 a.m. on Saturday, the victim called the police again after he tracked his stolen phone and discovered that it was pinging near a convenience store in the 3400 block of North Halsted.
Responding officers were flagged down about 20 minutes later by the victim who pointed them toward Johnson. After a short foot pursuit, Johnson attacked one of the cops by striking him in the head and spraying him with pepper spray, police said.
“The offender then hit the officer in the head with the pepper spray [can], causing it to explode,” a police spokesperson said. Three additional officers and at least one bystander were overcome by the effects of the spray. Johnson punched officers as they tried to take them into custody, according to a CPD statement.
One sergeant and three patrol officers were treated and released at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, police said.
A change of heart and four injured officers later, eight felony charges for a convicted felon.
Expect him to be I-bonded Monday morning.

This could have been prevented: point at the VIN and tell the a-hole victim to seek a warrant.
Now this a-hole victim is gonna say he was forced or coerced into signing complaints.
All this over a hookup gone bad and missing property.
Hope and pray for the officers to heal well- enjoy the summer off.
I bond shit try rwoc.
Yuuuuk!
Pepper spray! It was Bear Repellent!
Unbelievable! We are now just punching bags for the criminals!
watch the pod!
Hope the case doesn't go in front of Judge Byrne who freed the face biter in post above!!!
These scumbag judges and ASAs will give this fucker the hammer back, which he no doubt is not his property.
Oh Cedric, make sure you ask for judge Byrnes and say your crazy. It doesn't matter if you are or not, although I'm going with the former, just say so and you'll walk out of 26th and California a free man. You can then sue the city of Chicago for false arrest. Shit, everyone else does it that walks out of 26th and California, so you might as well too
Don’t call the police if you don’t want to pusue charges. Leave them out of your creepy bullshit sex encounters.
Typical 19 domestic. Although the place has kinda gone to shit in the last 3 weeks or so. Hmm, maybe we should have gotten someone who knew something about districts instead of a swat ranger.
They are all fucking ZOMBIES! All of you please be safe. Praying for all of you.
So why did hammer head vic call the police in the first place if he wasn’t going to press charges? And then, hammer head turns into Sherlock Holmes and tracks his phone down along with the offender/date. Again, hammer head calls the police to do his dirty work - get his phone back. If that second incident didn’t turn into such a cluster, hammer head had no intention of signing complaints then either. Odds hammer head doesn’t show up to court.
Sounds like a domestic and couldn’t officer have signed the complaint after observing serious injuries?
Tom Dart is already taking his pizza order in the hopes it gets delivered to his cell before Kimiesha Foxx can release him
As a 57 year old Chicago resident (Retired CFD/ 55 and out...sorry) this story and MANY others here are quite depressing. I look back on my career and think yes it was a blast but ALSO in reality it was depressing to spend those years serving such a fucked segment of society. I now spend as much time out of this shithole city as I can. I tell my 2 kids 17/19 to go away to school and never return...sadly.
All I can say is hang in there boys and girls and hope and pray 55 and out is STILL there for you.
Masochist says Hurt me, hurt me, please!......Sadist says No! Therefore this is normal in crook Co. jurisprudence.
Has a precedent been set on how many charge vs no charge you can have in a certain time frame? I’ll bet Kim has an answer.
I am really glad that I didn't respond to Lamar's ad.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Now, remember that because officers are afraid to use “tools” and go on hand to hand combat, if you ever use any they will charge you with excessive force. Just watch JVD trial you will see.
"Enjoy the summer off"
You know what, we need a National Cop Exchange
to offer free or low cost recovery locations for those
injured in duty. These guys went through so much
they deserve peace & quiet and cool mountain air.
Maybe a place to fish and camp out. Definitely a
change of scenery.
If we all pull together we can make this happen.
No signed compliant = No law enforcement purpose.
Rejection of signing complaint = No law enforcement purpose.
Same pansy now requesting law enforcement = Huh????
Are we flunkies or are we Law Enforcerment Officers?
First he say he don't and then he say he does
First he say no way
And then he say help help help meeeeee!!!!
Fucking twit.
Was it Dr. Maxwell Edison, who once majored in medicine?
Talk about a Cook County pataphysical boner-buster.
So no crime when it comes to Maxwell’s silver hammer came down upon his head....
SSC: PLEASE start a running list of the judges who continue to allow these criminals to walk without even a fine ? We need to hold them accountable for every bad decisionon they make.
A loyal reader.
Sven, I just had to surf over to the CWB to check out this story.
Yaaaah, Svenja, I saw it with my own eyes.
Judge Arthur Willis ordered Johnson held without bail!
Sven, some things still work in America.
I saw Johnson photo on CWB.
A patron of Star Wars Blog for sure.
Bad man is off the streets.
Kimmie will be fast at work with her “restorative justice” on this one.
Hammerhead should not involve the police if he doesn’t want to pursue charges.
He broke a pepper spray can over a cop's head? Did he NOT end up in the hospital?

Congratulations if it’s the right thing for you good. I on the other hand along with many other retirees aren’t depressed and choose to stay in the city and enjoy retirement. Serving those fucked up members of society gave me a decent living and a nice retirement

Do not be sad, be glad! You won the race! There is a lot of people who never saw the finish line. You were able to see the big show of the best and worst of humanity and get a pension to boot. Yes, there were very sad moments, but all in all, the invaluable education and entertainment given to me by that segment of society still makes me smile and chuckle to this day. I've got some good laughs to remember when I am in the nursing home, if I still have my memory!
