Crack-abusing woman imagines acid attack

March 20, 2007, 7:02 AM
A disturbance call brought police to an apartment building in the 2200 block of Cuyler, where they found an agitated 25-year-old woman insisting someone had poured battery acid on her. Officers saw no injuries of any kind, certainly not from acid. A neighbor told them the woman had been screaming and knocking on people's doors all morning. Other witnesses said the woman used crack cocaine; police concluded this was a reasonable explanation for otherwise inexplicable behavior. When told she was going to the hospital, the woman grew highly argumentative, pushing and scratching at officers. Once at MacNeal Hospital, she resisted help and intentionally scratched a nurse, who signed a complaint against her. She was charged with five different counts of battery.

Suspicious car report nets drugs

Feb. 12, 2007, 9:09 AM
A Berwyn police officer responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle near 26th and Wesley. The car, a maroon Ford Taurus, contained a woman in the front passenger seat, observed by the officer to be applying a lighter to a pipe. As the officer approached, he observed her trying to hide the pipe, causing an ivory-colored rock-like substance to fall out of it. The substance later field-tested positive for crack cocaine. The vehicle was towed and the woman and the driver, both of Chicago, were brought to the station, where the drugs, pipe and lighter were put into evidence. The driver was cited for having no insurance, driving without a license, no valid car registration and parking more than a foot from the curb. The two had earlier been reported wandering through a store in the 6600 block of 26th Street, appearing stoned.
