Berwyn Police Blotter
Too many names, too many stories and too much noise
April 27, 2008, 1:49 PM
While at 16th and Wesley, an officer could hear a gold Dodge Intrepid from a distance of 200 feet. When asked to show his license and proof of insurance, driver Jose S. Sanchez of Forest Park was able to show insurance but only had a Mexican driver’s license. That license was in the name “Jose Socorro Sanchez Quinonez. He said he had lived at the Forest Park address for a year. But when asked whether he had an Illinois license yet, Sanchez said no, because he was only visiting and had been here three to four months. Fingerprints told a third story: they came back to the original name, Jose S. Sanchez, but with a different birthday than the driver originally provided. A check of that name showed Sanchez did not have a valid license, as well as a previous arrest by Berwyn police for driving unlicensed three years earlier. He was cited for driving unlicensed and for violating the noise ordinance. Police impounded the Intrepid for the latter offense.
