Berwyn Police Blotter
Tailgate party!
August 20, 2008, 6:16 PM
Callers alerted police to the presence of intoxicated persons at 37th and East. Responding officers noticed several men huddled at the rear of a red Ford Explorer with an open tailgate. The men were consuming beer from bottles; several open containers of beer could be seen in the rear of the SUV. The Ford’s plates registered to a different vehicle, and a check of its VIN number came back “No Record on File”.
Jose Liberato, 36, of the 7500 block of south Kedvale, Chicago, told the officer the SUV was his, though he was unable to show either a valid driver’s license or a bill of sale. Because of the open alcohol, the Ford was impounded. Liberato was cited for having no valid registration and open alcohol.
