Berwyn Police Blotter
Three gang members arrested after gun-display call
October 3, 2008, 8:05 PM
Seven officers were sent to Cermak and Clarence after calls of a disturbance involving a brown van and the possible display of a gun. The brown Chevy van was found at that intersection; Jonathan M. Rogers, 18, of Fairbury, was in the driver’s seat. Rogers’ name came back “armed and dangerous” and “gang member”; he also had a suspended license, so the van was impounded.
Two other men involved in the disturbance were detained in the Dunkin Donuts parking lot at Cermak and East. An off-duty Chicago police officer told Berwyn police he saw the disturbance, then saw men fleeing eastbound on Cermak carrying a tire iron and a chain. He detained the men and called Berwyn police.
Rogers was charged with driving on a suspended license and without insurance. The other two men, both self-admitted gang members, were Miguel A. Rcio, 18, of 1310 Maple, and Marcelo Cruz, 21, of 2347 Clarence. Cruz was charged with reckless conduct. Rico was charged with reckless conduct and permitting an unauthorized person to drive.
