A teen who was beaten by Oak Lawn police officers in an incident that was captured on video and went viral was charged Thursday with illegal gun possession.
Though police initially said Hadi Abuatelah, 17, would also face charges of resisting arrest and cannabis possession, prosecutors with the Cook County state’s attorney’s office filed only a single felony gun charge during a virtual juvenile court hearing, according to the teen’s attorney, Shady Yassin.
