In the Fauntleroy area, a woman approached newcomers to the neighborhood, asked for a beer, asked to go inside their house, spent ten minutes in the bathroom talking to herself, tried to kiss their father (who was asleep on the couch), demanded they let her walk their dog to the store, and then threatened to sue when their dog bolted and pulled her to the ground.
While running down a slope in Lincoln Park Wednesday morning, a jogger was startled by another runner who came from behind, allegedly stumbled, grabbed her hips and, as the police report states, “planted his face in her buttocks” as he went to the ground. The man seemed surprised as well and asked if she was OK, but the woman thought he lingered a bit too long while holding onto her. The stumbler was a white male, aged 30-49, with short blondish hair. He wore a green sweatshirt and dark sweatpants.
The North Admiral car prowlers surely appreciated the drive who left his car unlocked. Especially since a loaded .45 caliber pistol was tucked under the seat and two additional loaded magazines (17 shots worth) were in the center console.
Late Thursday, near 30th and Genesee, officers responded to a loud music complaint (which was seemingly valid, since they could hear the music—which was coming from a parked car—from a block away). They were greeted by a man who yelled obscenities and racial slurs when asked to turn the music down. Three more men emerged from a house, along with their 63-year-old mother, and all began swearing and escalating the situation. Eventually, about 12 people were surrounding the officers and others had to be dispatched to the scene. Mom tried to grab one officer but was stopped by another who grabbed her arm. (Mom later repeatedly claimed she was injured but declined several offers of medics...she just wanted to call her lawyer.) All refused to identify themselves (one name finally provided was false), but mom and the son were later identified by police record photos. The music was finally turned down and 45 minutes later the officers left the area. It turns out that the man they encountered when they arrived at the scene has a long criminal history, including homicide, assault and drug violations.
