Berwyn Police Blotter
Officer assisting someone with directions is interrupted by super-loud Monte Carlo
August 29, 2008, 12:49 PM
An officer at Oak Park and Roosevelt had exited his squad car in order to help a motorist with directions when a maroon Monte Carlo approached; its stereo announced its arrival half a city block before the car actually appeared. The officer approached the Monte Carlo driver and requested his license and insurance. The driver reportedly asked, “What for?” The officer explained Berwyn’s noise ordinance, then asked the driver to step out. Again the driver asked “What for?” and was told it was because the car needed to be towed to the impound yard as a consequence of the noise violation. The other consequence, of course, was the $500 fee attached to the noise ticket issued to driver Richard Crayton of the 7600 block of Madison in Forest Park.
