Western Springs Teen Hurts Florida Cop: Police

WESTERN SPRINGS, IL – A Western Springs teen has been sentenced in Naples, Florida, in connection with a March incident, according to court records.

On the night of March 17, Quinn Riordan, 19, of Western Springs, and Matthew Austin, 19, of La Grange Highlands, were at the end of the hurricane-destroyed Naples Pier, according to NBC 2 in Fort Myers, Florida. They were in a restricted area and apparently hurdled over a barricade.

Austin was arrested immediately, but Riordan tried to escape, the TV station reported. As an officer tackled him, Riordan fell onto the officer's arm, breaking it, according to NBC 2.

Documents state that Riordan "was actively resisting by pushing, pulling, and kicking officers to escape," NBC 2 reported.

A third man with Austin and Riordan got away, police said.

Riordan was charged with felony battery to an officer, resisting and obstructing an officer and a city ordinance violation, according to court records.

On May 10, Riordan pleaded no contest to lesser battery and obstruction charges, court records said. He was put on probation for a year. He also was required to send letters of apology to two officers.

Austin faces an ordinance violation. The case is pending.

Both Riordan and Austin attended Lyons Township High School.
