Dorothy Tillman Arrested in Alabama

Former Chicago alderman Dorothy Tillman was arrested in Montgomery, Alabama yesterday after a confrontation with staff at Jackson Hospital. The civil rights activist was charged with criminal trespassing.

Tillman began arguing with the staff over her 86-year-old aunt’s medical records. Mabel Baker was discharged Sunday when Tillman asked for her medical records. Hospital employees told her that the records would be mailed to her. Tillman continued to demand the records and security was called.

 

“It was really something. They did the real police thing,” Tillman said of her arrested. She said she was put in “leg chains and shackles.”

 

Tillman, 60, was released on $300 bond. She is due in court to face the charges on March 31.
