March 16, 2007, 5:20 PM
An officer saw a male wearing jeans and a gray hoody walking slowly and looking around in the alley of the 1400 block of Kenilworth. He was stopped and frisked. The man produced an ID showing he was Eric Spears, 37, of Chicago.

Rude guy spits at White Castle employee

March 16, 2007, 4:28 AM
A man employed at White Castle, Harlem and Ogden, reported a silver 1996 Acura pulled up to the drive-thru, and the driver, a bearded Hispanic male, threw a bag of pumpkin seeds at the window. The suspect then opened the window of the drive-thru with his hands and spit inside at the employee, called him a "fag" and drove away without ever paying or picking up his order. The vehicle is registered to a car of a different make and model owned by a woman in Elmwood park; the employee said he could identify the suspect if he is caught.

Potsmokers with filthy mouths and bad attitudes

March 16, 2007, 12:11 AM
After midnight Friday, an officer noticed a silver Corolla head south on Ridgeland with both front seat occupants unseatbelted. When pulled over at 26th and Ridgeland, a strong odor of burnt cannabis was detected by the officer. Marijuana seeds and stems were visible on the floor between the front seats, as well as a partially burned leafy substance in plain view on the console. The driver, a 35-year-old man from the 2500 block of Cuyler, refused to exit the car and became verbally combative, saying "F--- you! I'm in front of my own house!" Finally, he came out and was patted down for officer safety. The woman passenger in the front seat was asked to unzip her jacket for the same reason; at this, everyone in the car began aggressively yelling that the officer could not search a woman. The officer explained the situation again. The driver said "F--- that!' and made a move toward the officer. The driver was then ordered to put his hands on the car; several requests were made before he complied. The officer unzipped the woman's jacket and found no weapons. The driver was arrested for possession; his stash of weed was found in a plastic bag tucked in the visor of the car.

A search of the vehicle turned up three pairs of latex gloves.

Fake gas company rep seems suspicious in retrospect

March 9, 2007, 2:24 PM
While canvassing the neighborhood to investigate the burglary on Highland, officers spoke to a 73-year-old woman, also in the 3400 block, who related the following. Two days earlier, at 1 PM, a young man came to her door. He said he was from the gas company and asked her to let him inside to check the meter. But when she requested ID, he could not produce it. So she refused to let him in and he walked away. She described him as about 25, black, short black hair, 5'8" and 200 pounds. Asked why she did not report it when it happened, the woman said she did not think he looked suspicious.
