Man arrested for drunk driving after speeding and snaking between lanes

A man was arrested in Lyons on May 13 for driving underwater after a Riverside officer reported he was driving at excessive speed.

According to police, the officer was near the intersection of South Harlem Avenue and Ogden Avenue when they heard several cars honking and saw the man’s car traveling west on Ogden Avenue “at a high rate of speed.” The officer drove in that direction and caught up with the vehicle near the intersection of First Avenue. As officers caught up, they saw the car repeatedly crossing the lane markings.

After stopping at the red light at the intersection, the car continued west, skirting the lane markings before reaching speeds of up to 50 mph in a 30 mph zone. At that point, the officer turned on the emergency lights and the driver stopped the car.

The man presented the officer with his driver’s license and proof of insurance, which was clear from the police database. The officer could smell alcohol on the man’s breath before seeing an open case of Corona beer in the back seat, police said. When asked, the man told the officer that he was on his way home from a friend’s restaurant. The man agreed to submit to a field sobriety test, but the officer noted that he was “talkative and argumentative.”

During the investigation, the officer noticed several signs that the man was drunk. The officer asked the man to take a portable breath test, but he refused. The officer arrested the man. According to the police, the man’s passenger was not drunk, but did not want to take possession of the car and was therefore taken away.

When he arrived at the station, police said the man became “belligerent and argumentative” and refused to enter the building, first taking his seat to be read a warning that he was refusing to comply undergo breathing test. When police said they asked the man to remove the gum from his mouth, he became “increasingly argumentative and unwilling” and refused to continue sitting. With help, officers handcuffed the man and removed his belt, shoes, socks and jewelry before taking him to a cell where his shirt was removed.

Because of his behavior, police have documented that the man refused to take a breath test, which means his driver’s license will be revoked for a year. According to the police report, police planned to charge the man with driving under the influence, improper lane use and speeding and sentence him once he was “sober and compliant.” At this time, a court date has been set for June 7th.

Arrested for driving with a revoked license

On May 14, a man was arrested in North Riverside for driving with a suspended license.

A Riverside police officer on patrol driving north on First Avenue from Forest Avenue around 5:20 a.m. reported seeing the man’s car heading in the same direction. According to police, the officer ran the vehicle’s license plates and learned that the car’s registration was expired and suspended, so they stopped the man near the intersection of 25th Street in North Riverside.

When asked for a driver’s license and proof of insurance, the man presented the officer with an Illinois state ID and valid proof. After checking the man’s name in the police database, the officer learned that his license had been suspended and arrested him.

The man’s car was inventoried and later towed. The man was arraigned and processed prior to his release. A court date of June 21 was set.

Arrested for driving without a license

A 32-year-old West Chicago man was arrested May 13 in Brookfield for driving with an expired registration and no license.

Around 8 a.m., an officer said he saw the man’s car driving south near the 4500 block of Maple Avenue with a green license plate. The officer searched the police database of the car’s license plates, which showed that the registration had expired last January. The officer followed the man’s car and stopped it near the 9100 block of 47th Street.

According to police, after the officer asked for the man’s driver’s license, police said he had never been issued a driver’s license, so the officer arrested the man.

The man told the officer that he was driving to work and was nearby, so he asked if a colleague could pick up his car. The officer allowed the man’s colleague to drive off in the car after making sure he had a valid driver’s license.

The man was charged with driving without a license and expired registration. A court date of June 11 was set and the man was released.
