Activist Jedidiah Brown was in police custody Tuesday after charging at Trustee Andrew Holmes during Monday’s Dolton board meeting.
Dolton police Sgt. Terry Young Jr., in white, speaks to people outside the Dolton Police Department July 2, 2024, as people were calling for the release of activist Jedidiah Brown from police custody after he confronted Trustee Andrew Holmes at Monday’s Village Board meeting. An activist critical of Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard’s administration was in police custody Tuesday after charging at Trustee Andrew Holmes during Monday’s Village Board meeting.
“I didn’t notice that my good fellow advocate Andrew Holmes is in the building,” Brown said sarcastically. “I wish I would have looked up before I read the statement because as it relates to you, you’re the reason I’m here. And you’re the reason that everybody is going through what they’re going through as it relates to an advocate, because you’re supposed to have been one.”
Trustee Kiana Belcher confirmed Tuesday afternoon Brown was still in police custody but had not been charged. Illinois law states that police can legally hold someone for 48 hours before charging them with a crime.
