An anonymous caller told dispatchers four males were standing near a Mercury Marquis in the 3800 block of Grove, using gang slogans and hand signals. Police questioned the four men, all of whom were in their late teens or early twenties. Two were Berwyn residents, one was from Hoffman Estates and the fourth from Schaumburg. They claimed they were doing nothing wrong and furthermore they were former, not current, gangbangers. It was then that the officer noticed a bag of marijuana on the pavement. The Hoffman Estates teen said it was his; he had thrown it down in hope of evading arrest. He was charged with pot possession and all four with disorderly conduct.
