Almost exactly one year after an off-duty Kendall County Sheriff’s deputy pulled his weapon on a family in line at the Oswego Wal-Mart, the Montgomery couple has filed a federal lawsuit naming the deputy and Kendall County as defendants. Jason and Nicole Thurmond filed the suit Feb. 4. The incident took place Feb. 5, 2012. In the suit, which seeks at least $400,000 in damages, the Thurmonds allege Deputy Craig French used excessive force, assaulted the couple and inflicted emotional distress during the incident in which the Thurmonds and French argued over how many items the Thurmonds had brought to a checkout line.

Two-day trial of Jason Thurmond concludes this week.
The criminal trial of a Montgomery man who shoved an off-duty Kendall County Sheriff's deputy on Super Bowl Sunday in February ended this week with a not guilty verdict.

The trial began on Monday this week when defense attorney Richard Irvin questioned French’s actions, according to the Beacon News. In assessing French’s behavior that day, Irvin pointed out French didn’t identify himself as a police officer until after his gun was drawn. He also never attempted to quiet down other customers, nor did he offer to help Nicole Thurmond, wife of Jason Thurmond, the paper reported. …

What heroic action would this 'cop' have done if he did not have a gun? Would he have knocked the eggs out of Mr. Thurmond's hands and clucked like a chicken. Diid the deputy swear out a battery warrant? or did the Oswego Police do it? Either way, it is way over the top reaction. How many of us would have pushed him away from our expenctant wife. Defending his own I say. Self defense I say. Idiot… more ›

Seems like typical law enforcement abuse. He had no business pulling a gun or even starting an altercation for that matter. I see people in 20 items or less checkout all the time with too many items, but I don't start altercations over it. If anyone else pulled a gun on someone for such a stupid reason (being pushed) they'd be in jail. Ridiculous. I want the name of their attorney. APD threatened… more ›
