Berwyn Police Blotter
Let sleeping cokeheads lie
November 9, 2007, 5:13 PM
A 17-year-old woman from the 2100 block of Highland came to the police station to report that on November 7 at 1 AM, she found a rolled-up dollar bill in her live-in boyfriend’s pants pocket. She said she unrolled it and found white powder, so she woke him up and confronted him in the belief it was cocaine. The 17-year-old man said it was nothing, and “I’m going back to sleep.” The woman said she insisted she wanted no drugs in their house or near their baby, and pushed him toward the door. The man refused, and reportedly stated, “If you want to stand up like a man, I’ll treat you like a man,” and proceeded to punch her face and head. The victim’s visible injuries included a cut, bruised lip; a lump on the head; arm bruises, and a bite-lacerated thumb. Police went to the man’s workplace—a restaurant in the 6300 block of Ogden—and arrested him for domestic battery.
