Berwyn Police Blotter
The $500 beer
May 24, 2008, 4:54 PM
A police sergeant working in the 7100 block of Cermak stopped an eastbound Dodge pickup truck whose driver could be seen holding a half-empty bottle of Modelo beer. When the driver noticed the police could see him, the report stated, he placed the beer behind the front seat. Police had the truck pull over. A four-year-old girl sat in front without a child safety seat. Police located the half-full bottle behind the front seat. Driver Ramon Ponce, 43, of Cicero, was charged with failure to secure a child in a safety seat and illegal transportation of open alcohol; the latter offense caused the truck to be impounded and incur a fee of $500.
