Whitley Temple pleaded not guilty to the charges — and after nearly two years of delays, the case goes before a Cook County judge for trial on Monday.

CHICAGO -- A woman will go on trial this Monday on accusations of attacking a Chicago Police officer, stealing his sport-utility vehicle, and running him over back in 2022.But since her arrest, it turns out the woman, Whitley Temple, has been hired by the City of Chicago.Authorities said at the time that around 9:45 a.m. on Monday, June 13, 2022, officers found Temple lying naked in the street near Jackson Boulevard and Kostner Avenue in West Garfield Park.

'The defense attorney for Temple, 34, at the time told a court his client had been the victim of sexual assault before the incident – but did not elaborate. Despite that claim, the Cook County State's Attorney's office still went ahead and filed charges against Temple of attempted murder of a police officer, carjacking, aggravated battery of a police officer — among other charges. The charges were filed two days after the incident.
