Suspect Behavior
Beating the rap
After stopping a motorist who was reportedly driving around downtown and selling CDs out of the back of a vehicle, police approached the car and saw the man holding an open bottle of beer between his legs. When asked whom the CDs belonged to, police say the suspect stammered, “Uh…they’re mine…and a friend’s.” Officers quickly learned the car had been reported stolen in Springfield, and the suspect, 45, was arrested for theft and driving with an open container. Once in the booking area at the jail, the perp faced the arresting officers, “then pulled his penis out of his pants and shook it,” police say. He also was charged with indecent exposure.
Off-road rage
Police responded to an Antioch domestic dispute that ended with a woman crashing her sport utility vehicle through a garage door after attempting to run over her husband. Officers interviewed the victim, who said a tiff turned violent when his 29-year-old wife “pulled him by his gold necklace, then punched him in the mouth.” The woman reportedly smashed his laptop computer and then left the house, only to return a few minutes later. Before leaving for a second time, police say the suspect threw a kitchen bowl at her husband, but missed and ran out to her vehicle. The victim followed her into the driveway, at which point she put her SUV in reverse and stepped on the gas, barely missing the victim and instead hitting the house. The woman fled before police arrived, but was later booked for aggravated assault.
Way to use your head
Two young women were stumbling along 21st Avenue in Hillsboro Village at 2:30 a.m. when officers stopped to check on them. The women—who reeked of alcohol and had slurred speech—were separated for the purpose of conducting interviews, at which point one of the ladies became uncooperative and began shouting at officers to leave her friend alone. As one of the officers attempted to handcuff the 23-year-old suspect, she head-butted him in the chest, police say. The same woman then attempted to head-butt another officer, and also tried to slip off her cuffs once in the back of the patrol car. Police placed a hobble restraint on her ankles before she was carted off to jail and charged with assault, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and public intoxication.
Relationship woes
Officers were leaving an Antioch apartment complex after responding to an unrelated call when they heard someone screaming profanities in a nearby breezeway. Police spotted the suspect and told him to stay put, to which he responded, “Fuck you, pigs,” and started running. The officers caught up with the perp, who continued kicking and swinging until he was sprayed with a chemical irritant and handcuffed. Once in custody, the suspect, 18, explained he was drunk and “angry over a relationship with his girlfriend,” police say. The young man continued cursing at the cops as they took him downtown and booked him for assault, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and underage consumption of alcohol.
A plan gone awry
A woman locked her roommate out of their apartment during an argument and then called police hoping to have her roomie arrested. When the officers arrived, however, the caller refused to unlock the door and come outside to talk with police. Instead, she began loudly cursing from an upstairs window and throwing shoes at the crowd gathered below. Police ultimately arrested the 24-year-old woman who had called them and charged her with disorderly conduct.
