Battery violates parole
September 27, 2008, 8:04 PM
Following a domestic battery in the 6900 block of Cermak, the offender fled the scene but was soon pointed out to police and arrested outside. The victim—whose front tooth was knocked out in a previous encounter with the offender—said he shoved her and yelled obscenities. Derrick Murphy struggled during the arrest; one officer received an injury to his thumb. He was charged with resisting an officer and domestic battery. Police contact Murphy’s Illinois Dept. of Corrections parole officer, who stated the department would issue a warrant for Murphy’s violation of his status as a felony parolee.

September 21, 2008, 5:09 AM
Dispatchers sent police to the 1900 block of Grove on reports of damage to property. Police found a man in a red plaid shirt yelling and violently waving his arms about. When the man saw police approach, he turned and fled. He was holding his arms to his chest and appeared to be bleeding.
An officer spoke to the victim, a woman who said the man was her ex-boyfriend. She said the man showed up intoxicated and enraged, then tried to enter her residence by punching the front window. Meanwhile, police chased the offender, who jumped a series of back yard fences, leaving a trail of blood. He was hiding in a back yard on the same block, using foliage in a flower garden to conceal himself; he would not respond to commands.
Police arrested Jesse V. Chagoya, 39, currently a resident of the 3000 block of Wesley. He was charged with criminal damage to property, and could not post bond because he was already out on bond for domestic battery and aggravated assault of a police officer*.

Accused batterer has woman terrified, but not cops
September 18, 2008, 2:21 AM
Police were sent to MacNeal hospital to speak with a battered woman. The woman, a 34-year-old Elmhurst resident, said she and her boyfriend argued in front of the man’s home in the 2300 block of Gunderson, then the man punched her in the head several times and grabbed her neck. The officer saw the victim had red scratches in her shoulders and neck, as well as dried blood on her hands and fingers.
The victim repeatedly insisted she did not want the boyfriend arrested, and expressed fear that he would find out the police knew of the incident. The officer informed her that, because of her visible injuries, he was signing the complaint for her. At that point, the victim would no longer cooperate.
Police arrested the man at his home. When they arrived, the man stated, “You don’t have a signed complaint and I don’t want to talk to you without a lawyer”. He was, of course, mistaken about the complaint. He was charged with domestic battery.
