Berwyn Police Blotter
Interrupted malt-liquor-flavored stroll ends in pot stash discovery
June 5, 2008, 12:47 PM
A police sergeant, patrolling the 21st and Oak Park area because of citizen complaints of gang activity and drug deals, noticed a man walking southbound in the 1900 block of Oak Park/Euclid alley. The man then crossed 21st, still headed south; a three-fourths-empty bottle of King Cobra malt liquor was in his right hand. When the man noticed the sergeant, he reportedly said “Oh, s@$#, my bad!” and set the 55-ouncer down in mid-street. He was uncooperative during the subsequent patdown, and resisted being handcuffed until warned police might have to use the Taser. Police arrested Dimitri J. Juste, 23, of Glenview. In Juste’s pants pocket was a Ruffles potato chip bag containing nine clear plastic bags of marijuana, with a total weight of 5.7 grams. Juste was charged with resisting a peace officer, possession of marijuana, and possession of marijuana with intent to deliver.
