 A man was convicted Tuesday of using a baseball bat to beat a police officer who tried to stop him from beating a woman two years ago in the South Side West Englewood neighborhood.

Tythia Thigpen, 31, was found guilty of four counts of felony aggravated battery — including aggravated battery to a peace officer — and one count of resisting a peace officer following a bench trial before Judge Charles Burns, according to court records.

Thigpen was arrested following the Aug. 24, 2013, attack in the 5700 block of South Winchester Avenue, where he also lived.

A Chicago Police officer on routine patrol that night stopped at the Winchester address when he saw a group of people fighting in front of a home, prosecutors said previously. He called for backup as he got out of his car and ordered the crowd to disperse.
