Loud music + belligerent intoxication = slammer
October 27, 2009, 1:26 AM
A police officer heard loud music pounding from an apartment near Wesley and Vacin and shined his spotlight on the window. A man’s voice called out “Shut that f^&*ing light off, you mother f&*#er!” When the cop identified himself as a Berwyn police officer, the voice allegedly replied, “I don’t give a f*&@ who you are! Turn that f*&@in light off,” and “F*&@ you. I don’t care who you are, I’ll listen to my music when I want to.” A man —appearing highly intoxicated—exited the apartment and approached the officer in a hostile manner while yelling obscenities. After a struggle, the officer handcuffed Fernando R. Razzino and brought him to the police station. He was charged with assault and resisting arrest.
Cop thinks lady looks like a dude

Ticketing cops ruffled a traffic violator’s feathers when they mistook her for a man. A driver began to argue with a community service officer who was ticketing near Jefferson Elementary school in 7000 block of 16th St. A responding police officer overheard the driver yelling and dropping F-bombs “in a low voice”, so --observing that the driver had “short combed back hair and a visible mustache”—told the ticketing cop “write this guy a local ordinance citation.” The driver, who turned out to be a 25 year old woman with two children in the back seat —yelled out the window, “I’m a girl!” She told the officers “I’m going to tell [your supervisors] that you called me a dyke!” The officers denied using that word. The driver, a resident of the 2600 block of Oak Park, yelled, “You’re lying!” and drove away.

Drunken brawl spills out of house, attracts neighbors’ shocked attention
October 26, 2009, 10:27 PM
Callers to 911 reported hearing a woman scream for help at 2633 Clarence. As officers approached, dispatchers alerted them that the disturbance had moved outside and men were now brawling in the street. Police noticed seven or eight people in front of the house; two men saw police, attempted to enter 2633 and, according to the report, “met resistance with the door”. Officers ordered all parties to lie on the ground, but the men—all of whom reportedly reeked of alcohol—elected not to comply. Instead, they used abusive language and walked around with clenched fists. Police said two men pushed them rather than comply with instructions; one had to be Tasered to gain his compliance.
A woman in the house told police the incident started when her son—one of the brawlers—punched her during an argument. The woman refused to prosecute and was uncooperative with police. During the ride to the police station, the son—Michael W. Neuman, 19—continuously banged his head against the window and prisoner-divider of squad car #117. He was also found to have an outstanding warrant out of Stickney, for which he was processed.
Neuman was charged with resisting an officer, battery and disorderly conduct, as was William J. Pusateri Jr, 21, of 10845 south Talman, Chicago. Terry Stephens, 18, was charged with disorderly conduct. Candi Neuman, 51, was charged with public intoxication, use of abusive language toward officer, and use of the premises to disturb the peace.
Police reported that, while in the Berwyn lockup, Pusateri yelled, banged on the cell window and attempted to flood his cel. When told to stop, he allegedly yelled “F@!* YOU!” and spit on the window.
