Berwyn Police Blotter
Wrong first name insufficient disguise
April 26, 2007, 1:24 AM
An officer patrolling Cermak with radar detected the only vehicle in the area traveling 38 MPH in a 25 MPH zone. He stopped the 1999 Ford Escort, which had no front plates, at Oak Park Avenue and Cermak. The driver could not produce a license or proof of insurance. He gave police a name that did not exist in the computer. The car was towed and the man fingerprinted at the station. The 24-year-old had given police a false name. In addition to the traffic tickets he received, he was charged with attempted obstruction of justice for the lame attempt to fool police.
