It is alleged that Wolinkski failed to intervene when Young was handcuffed naked for 20 minutes, even though officers were in the wrong home.

The disciplinary charges against Wolinski also accused him of failing to adhere to rules that require knocking and announcing when executing a search warrant, not showing Young a copy of the search warrant and failure to notify or contact a SWAT team supervisor.
In a 5-3 vote, the police board decided to fire Wolinski.
Back in February of 2019, Young, who is a social worker, was in the middle of changing her clothes when officers raided her house.
She said she was left naked and handcuffed for 40 minutes despite pleas to officers to allow her to put her clothes on.
The person they were searching for lived next door and later police learned they had bad information.

Young settled a lawsuit with the city for $2.9 million.
In a statement, Young said:
"The removal of Sergeant Wolinski from the Chicago Police Department is only a small piece of the Justice for which I have been waiting.
"While my heart goes out to his family because they now suffer the consequences of his abhorrent misconduct, I wish all eight members of the Chicago Police Board would have recognized the need and urgency for Sergeant Wolinski's removal.
"Although this event does not atone for the traumatic injustice I faced, knowing that members of the Chicago Police Board are starting to see how carelessly some Officers engage with the community gives me a little bit of peace."
