On June 9th, 2019 in Freeport, Illinois, Shaquille Dukes, his boyfriend Marqwandrick Morrison and his brother Semi Racks were arrested for misdemeanor disorderly conduct after a hospital security guard called the police and accused the men of attempting to steal an IV. While vacationing from Chicago, Illinois Shaquille contracted double pneumonia (both lungs infected) and was being treated at FHN Memorial Hospital. After the second day at the hospital, Shaquille asked his doctor if he could walk outside to get some fresh air. Shortly after, Shaquille and his loved ones were interrupted by a hospital security guard who asked them if they were attempting to “leave the hospital and sell the IV equipment on eBay." Marqwandrick Morrison began recording the encounter after the guard accused them. This is when the guard then called 911 for backup stating, “I have three black males attempting to steal medical equipment from the hospital." Once police arrived, Shaquille says they confiscated his emergency inhaler and removed his IV from his arm before handcuffing he and his family. While on the way to the police station, Shaquille suffered an asthma attack and asked for his inhaler, but was denied by the officer until they arrived at the station and not until the paramedics came into contact with him. Shaquille was then sent back to the hospital in the police car while still handcuffed. Freeport, Illinois PD has appointed Hazel Crest, Illinois Police Chief and member of the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police, Mitch Davis, as the independent investigator for this incident. FHN Memorial Hospital has declined to comment citing patient confidentiality and has said they are cooperating with the police investigation. #FreeportIllinois #Chicago #Illinois #FHNMemorialHospital #FreeportPD #HazelCrestPD #AssociationOfChiefsOfPolice #ShaquilleDukes #MarqwandrickMorrison #SemiRacks #BlackLivesMatter #MAGA #BlueLivesMatter #ExplorePage #BrookeBaldwin #VOTM Sources: CNN.com, wrex.com (at FHN Memorial Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzx_me0DPIS/?igshid=1r6fdw1frcw8l
