Fake temporary plate and driver behavior lead to arrest of wanted man
An officer observed a man driving near 15th and Wenonah, then exit the car, which had an illegible Indiana temporary plate. When approached by police, the driver said he was just moving the car for streetcleaning. However, he had no insurance, no driver's license and that illegible temporary plate was a fake. So police were obliged to bring the 39-year-old Berwyn man down to the station. A check revealed he had numerous aliases and two outstanding warrants: one for DUI and another for soliciting a prostitute. He was also charged with obstructing an officer.
