Berwyn Police Blotter
Flipping out in a Mickey Mouse T-shirt
August 9, 2008, 2:34 AM
A bar bouncer at La Quinta, 6739 Ogden, told police a man in a Mickey Mouse T-shirt came out of the bar and “flipped out”. “Flipping out”, in this instance, consisted of running around the parking lot, screaming in Spanish, then scratching up a white Cadillac Escalade with a key. The bouncer said that when he tried the stop the offender, the man fled in a green GMC Jimmy. As the bouncer spoke with police, he was able to point out the Jimmy at the intersection of Oak Park and Ogden. Police followed the vehicle, stopping it near near MacNeal Hospital, and asked the front-seat passenger to exit. The man—Misael Renteria, 24, of the 3100 block of north Francisco, Chicago, reportedly stated, “I was at the bar, but I didn’t do anything”.
When police brought Renteria back to the scene of the criminal damage, witnesses positively identified him as the offender. The victim, a 29-year-old Oak Lawn woman who did not know the offender, told police she would sign a complaint against him.
