A police sergeant working near Morton West High School saw a tan 1994 Ford Ranger pickup go through the alley south of Cermak right past a "No Thru Traffic" sign. When stopped, the driver jumped out of the truck and began walking away. The officer approached the man, who said he had no driver's license and gave the name "Hugo Aviles".
