A 47-year-old man told police he came home to the 3100 block of Wisconsin and saw a small black SUV parked in front of his house with two men in it. As the resident unloaded things from his parked car, the two confronted him. They said they were repo men and gave a name; the man said he knew no such person and asked that they leave. The driver -- a tall white man with a blond crew cut--then produced a collapsible-type baton; the passenger --a white man with brown hair -- pulled out a switchblade and a black handgun. The resident said he was calling police and furthermore had memorized their plates. This startled the men, who got back in their vehicle and fled southbound. The resident said he could identify them if they are caught.

Drug dealer drives with one headlight and a really big knife
March 13, 2007, 11:16 PM
A black 1996 Old Aurora traveling south on Ridgeland was stopped at 26th for having a single headlight. The officer noticed a 15-inch-long black knife within the driver's reach and asked him to exit the car, whereupon the officer recovered the knife. The driver, a 23-year-old man living in the 800 block of North Humphrey in Oak Park, said he needs the knife for protection because he lives in a bad neighborhood. A strong marijuana smell came from the car. The driver was arrested and a search of the car revealed an electronic scale and a large bag of marijuana. The man was found to have two bags of weed in his pants pockets plus $120 in cash; he said he sold drugs to support his kids. He was cited for possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, and possession with intent to distribute, as well as for unlawful use of a weapon.
