The BGA and CBS2 followed up this month after learning Holmes’ criminal case had concluded. (He pleaded guilty to resisting a police officer and was sentenced to a year in prison, though he was given credit for the time he had spent in Cook County Jail awaiting disposition of the case.)

The village, however, still refused to turn over video and reports. After a BGA attorney got involved, the village relented and handed over the materials on Sept. 8.

No initial reports mention Holmes was struck or even injured.

Karimi was in the booking room when Fredericksen shoved Holmes, though he was not in the garage when Holmes’ nose was broken.

An incident report Karimi authored doesn’t mention that Fredericksen hit Holmes, though Karimi says in an interview “I attempted to report it to the chain of command and was told it would be handled.”

On Sept. 7, 2014, almost a year after the beating and a few days after the BGA and CBS2 asked for copies of reports, the department filed a supplemental narrative.

The new report says Karimi omitted key details because he “felt threatened by Sgt. Fredericksen, who told him ‘you better make this look good.’”
