March 27, 2007, 7:38 PM
An officer saw a red 1998 Dodge pickup truck exit a store parking lot at Ogden and Clarence, then abruptly enter eastbound Ogden traffic in the 6900 block, causing drivers of other eastbound vehicles to slam on their brakes to avoid an accident. The driver, 22-year-old Angel Garcia of Cicero, stated he has a suspended driver's license and no insurance. An inventory of his truck recovered a clear plastic bag of marijuana from the rear passenger seat and another such bag in the driver door compartment, totalling .20 grams. He was cited for failure to yield while merging, driving on a suspended license and no proof of insurance. He was also ticked for the pot possession and got a $200 fine.

Alley blocked by uninsured trucks leads to owner's arrest

March 3, 2007, 7:51 AM
A call complaining of vehicles blocking an alley brought police to the 1800 block of Clinton, where they found a '98 Ford F-150 and a '98 Chevy van, both with engines running and nobody inside, totally blocking the alley. Police observed a man enter the van and drive it a few feet, until an officer approached and learned the driver, a 35-year-old Berwyn man, owned both trucks but was driving an uninsured vehicle using a suspended license. He was arrested and cited for those infractions. The man also stated he owns a hardwood flooring business that he operates from his residence; unfortunately for him, he has no license to do so.
