Berwyn Police Blotter
Belt-swinging, bike-throwing fight
October 3, 2007, 6:30 PM
Police dispatched to a fight on the sidewalk by McDonald’s in the 6400 block of Ridgeland found that two Cook County probation officers had already separated the three combatants. A 62-year-old Cicero woman, who uses a walker, told police she was struck in the head with a beer can tossed during the fight. Witnesses reported a “big guy” walked up to a Berwyn man, yelled in his face and headbutted him. The Berwyn man then pulled off his belt and began to swing it. When a second Berwyn man emerged from McDonald’s, the “big guy” started up with him, too. The second Berwyn man threw a child’s silver bicycle at the big guy. A name check of Donald R. Conoboy, 42, of Oak Park, revealed a pending arrest warrant. He and the two Berwyn men were all arrested and charged with reckless conduct.
