Wrongfully charged and car impouded, The Erasmo Palacios Story

The story goes like this: Erasmo and Rocio Palacios were parked outside a Chicago restaurant when Rocio, the wife, saw a woman waving her hands. They thought she was in distress. Little did they know. The woman leaned in to the passenger side where Rocio was and offered Erasmo sex for various prices. The couple laughed at the matter and saw she wasn't in distress after all. No laughing matter it seems, suddenly police car came and cuffed Erasmo for solicitation of a prostitute. Erasmo spent 8 hours in custody and was then released. Charges were dropped weeks later. Police report, however, says that it was Erasmo who was looking to buy sex. There's no mention of his wife being there and daughter who . Also, officers impounded Palacios's car and threatened to arrest Rocio and their daughter if they tried to stop them. Unbelievable as it seems, the city wants 4700 dollars for towing and storage fees before they return the vehicle. Now, Erasmo is understandably suing the city and the officers involved. Hope he wins.
