Husband mad at wrong people

March 16, 2007, 9:27 AM
An officer saw a black 2004 Ford Expedition with no front plate and stopped it at Cermak and Clarence. The driver, a 26-year-old woman living in the 1400 block of Clinton, spoke only broken English and had no driver's license or insurance. She carried only a Mexican ID and had her 4-year-old and 6-month-old boys in the back seat. She called her husband to pick up the children when the officer told her she was under arrest. The husband arrived and got mad, telling the officer to go arrest a driver without children. He walked off with the kids, twice refusing a ride home offered by police.

Woman ignores stopsign, flashing lights of stopped schoolbus

March 7, 2007, 3:09 PM
An officer near Irving school saw a black '95 Chevy Lumina heading west on 35th toward Clinton. A schoolbus was parked on 35th facing eastbound; it had its red stopsign extended, and was also flashing two easy-to-see red lights, because children were boarding the bus after school. The Chevy disobeyed the stopsign and passed the bus. When pulled over, the driver, a 32-year-old Berwyn woman, was asked for ID; she replied, "I left my driver's license at home." In its place, she produced a YMCA membership card. A computer check revealed she had never had a driver's license at all. After checking, the officer asked the question again, upon which she admitted to lacking a license to drive. She was arrested and charged with driving unlicensed, no proof of insurance and passing a schoolbus while children were boarding and a stopsign was plainly visible.

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.
