After the officer exited his car and called an ambulance for her, Temple allegedly stood up, began saying the officer’s name out loud repeatedly, and attempted to get into the driver’s side of his squad car. Just after 9:30 a.m., a 47-year-old Chicago police officer responded to a report of shots allegedly fired by Temple near the 4400 block of West Jackson, and found Temple lying in the street. Surveillance video captured her getting out of her vehicle, putting on a pair of shorts, and attempting to gain entry into other vehicles in that area, Murphy said.

Temple then allegedly struck the driver of that truck before she ran back screaming into her own vehicle and drove off into another alleyway in the 4300 block of West Adams Street. She then got into her vehicle and drove down an alleyway where she struck a parked AT&T truck, Murphy said. Witnesses saw Temple running out of a residence naked that morning, before she allegedly pulled a gun from a purse and fired shots at those witnesses. She was not present for a court hearing Wednesday morning, as she’s still receiving medical treatment at Stroger Hospital following the car crash.ĭuring that hearing, Assistant State’s Attorney James Murphy described a chaotic series of events that began Monday in West Garfield Park. Whitley Temple, 34, will be held on $2 million cash bail after her arrest on a half dozen charges including attempted murder of a peace officer, aggravated battery, and vehicular hijacking.
