Amara Harris says she was the victim of racial discrimination when she received a $100 ticket in 2019 over the alleged theft. She was cleared after a trial.

NAPERVILLE, Ill. — A 21-year-old woman who was accused and cleared of stealing AirPods from a classmate while she was in high school has filed a $20 million civil rights discrimination lawsuit against the city of Naperville and two members of its police department. The lawsuit filed May 21 in U.S.

” Harris’ attorney Todd Yeary said Harris was required to attend nearly 50 hearings before the case went to trial. While some were held via video conference, others required her to travel to and from Naperville while she was a student at Spelman College in Atlanta. “I think we have a duty to make sure that we not only remedy it for Amara, but as she said, fix it for other students who may have to go through the same,” Yeary said.
