Elgin IL. Jan 4 2008
Police and security officers differ in their stories but all agree that there was a large disturbance at the Holiday Inn and numerous people assaulted two hotel security officers. There seems to be some kind of question as to how one of the responding officers handled the incident.
Elgin police are investigating the conduct of an officer who responded to a New Year's Day brawl at an Elgin hotel, an official said Thursday.The brawl resulted in nine arrests and injuries to three people, including a retired Elgin deputy police chief who was working as director of the hotel's security.Ann Dinges, an Elgin Police Department spokeswoman, declined to identify the officer involved in the investigation. Dinges also declined to discuss the allegations against the officer and what prompted the investigation.
The incident began when police were called to the Holiday Inn at 495 Airport Rd. at 2:45 a.m. Tuesday to break up a fight, police said. Jack Darr, the retired police deputy chief, was injured along with another security officer during the fight in a hotel corridor, Dinges said. Darr suffered broken ribs, cuts and a punctured lung, Dinges said.The charges against six men and three women arrested in the incident ranged from aggravated battery and mob action to obstructing police. One of those arrested was treated at a hospital after the fight, Dinges said
