Legal Question in Appeals and Writs in Illinois
If I was taken away from my living space by officers, does this mean I was taken into custody due to the fact I was not free to leave even though I never went to the jail itself?

If you were being evicted by the Sheriff, this is called a "forcible" and there should have been an order of possession that you ignored until the eviction date, at which point the Sheriff does have the legal authority to use "force". If it is anything else there is too little information.
