Jan 14, 2009 Security Guard Charged With Attacking Co-Worker http://cbs2chicago.com/local/security.guard.attack.2.907751.html A hospital security guard was charged with attacking a co-worker while wearing a mask, then "coming to her rescue" after she allegedly ignored his romantic advances Sunday in the Hyde Park neighborhood. Donquila Butler, 29, of the 4600 block of South Prairie Avenue, was charged with felony unlawful restraint at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to police. Butler, who was employed as a security guard at the University of Chicago Hospitals [5841 S. Maryland Ave.], is expected to appear in Cook County Criminal Court, 2600 S. California Ave., for a bond hearing later Wednesday, police said. On Sunday, Butler waved to a 19-year-old female co-worker whom he found romantically attractive. The woman, who works in the records department at the same hospital, ignored him as she had done numerous times in the past when he has tried to talk to her, police said. The wave brush-off enraged him and at 12:10 p.m. Butler allegedly put on a ski mask and a hood and went to her work area. He allegedly grabbed her by the throat and said, "Shut the f––- up before I kill you right here,'' police said. Butler ran away when other hospital employees who were walking by saw the incident. They called hospital security and, shortly afterward, he "responds to his own call'' without the mask and hood but the woman identified him. |
