The suit claims Morgan was arrested and his young son was left at the scene of the arrest. The suit does not indicate the exact age of the son.<\/p>\n
Morgan was released from the Cook County Jail more than two days after the arrest and criminal charges were dropped, according to the suit.<\/p>\n
Morgan claims the deputy had no reason to arrest him, and there was not a warrant for his arrest. The four-count suit claims false arrest, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution and indemnification and is seeking judgment against Woods and Cook County Sheriff Thomas Dart.<\/p>\n
Cook County Sheriffs office spokesman Steve Patterson said Morgan has never filed a complaint with the sheriffs office or any other authorities.<\/p>\n
Patterson laughed at the idea of anyone leaving a child behind on an interstate highway, and he forwarded any other questions to the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, who could not reached Thursday morning.<\/p>\n
Police officers dont generally leave kids on the side of the road, Patterson said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
