Jail Won't Punish Inmate For Throwing Urine on Other Inmate: Lawsuit

A peeved inmate’s pleas to have jail staff punish another inmate for throwing urine on him went ignored, according to a lawsuit filed in Will County court.

Jesus Moses Simms, 22, claims that is a violation of his constitutional rights, so he decided to take the jail to court.

In the lawsuit, which Simms wrote himself, the Bolingbrook man said he “put in … 22 grievances about Kenneth Love, a (sic) inmate at Will County jail” who would “throw urine on the plaintiff.”

After “letting the jail know that he woood (sic) like to press charges on inmate Love,” the lawsuit said, Simms was told he “can’t press charges on inmate Love. The jail is violating my constitutional rights.”

The lone defendant named in the lawsuit is the Will County Adult Detention Facility.

Love, 26, is in jail on charges of aggravated domestic battery, resisting a police officer, driving without a license, leaving the scene of an accident, theft, burglary, and indirect criminal contempt.

Simms’ lawsuit against the jail is only the most recent of the legal maneuvers he has undertaken since he was locked up in January on charges of armed robbery and aggravated assault. In September, he sued his brother and sister, alleging they were going around telling people he was a male prostitute.

About a week after Simms was jailed on the robbery charge, brother and sister Derek and Samantha Walker “arrived at (Simms’) church and explained to the Saints (Elders) of his church that he was arrested for prostitution,” the lawsuit said.

The Walkers “purposely and maliciously defamed (Simms) for the purpose of destroying his reputation in the church and community,” the suit said, and that is worth about $50,000 to Simms.
