Nicoline Arlet, 24, allegedly took a body camera that had been ripped off an officer, police said. The Pilsen resident was charged with theft of government property.

Eighteen-year-old Elena Chamorro, of Lakeview, was charged with aggravated battery of a peace officer after she allegedly “battered a uniformed deputy chief of police,” police said. She also faces a count of misdemeanor mob action.
