A former Chicago Public Schools principal is suing a school cafeteria worker and a Chicago police detective after he was found not guilty of three felony charges stemming from a March 2020 incident in which he threw a water bottle that hit the worker in the head.
Kurt Jones resigned from Franklin Fine Arts Center in Old Town in 2020 and was criminally charged that month. After a year and a half in court, Cook County Judge Angela Petrone found him not guilty in October of two counts of aggravated battery causing bodily harm and permanent disfigurement, and a count of aggravated battery of a school employee.
