Police attention was drawn to a tan Oldsmobile because the car skidded to a stop on Ogden at Ridgeland. The plates on the Olds were registered to a Buick. The driver reportedly told the officer he knew many police officers and did not want to be arrested. The officer informed Francisco Enriquez-Rivera, 31, of Cicero, that he was nevertheless being arrested for driving with no license or insurance, improper use of registration, no seat belt and failure to yield at an intersection. According to the report, Enriquez-Rivera responded, “I have cops that will fix this”.
