Brookfield police arrested a 58-year-old Riverside man on June 26 for repeatedly disturbing a Brookfield woman at her home.
An officer responded to the 3800 block of Madison Avenue around 1:40 p.m. on a report of a disturbance and spoke to a resident, who said an older man had thrown dog feces into her garbage can the previous day. When she requested he remove it, the man screamed profanities at the woman in front of her children, she told police. Then, on this day, the man rode past the woman’s house on his bike as she was heading out with her children and began to scream at her. The woman told police she simply wanted the man to leave her family alone.
The officer spoke with the man, who refused to identify himself multiple times, stating he did not need to identify himself because he did nothing wrong, police said. The officer informed the woman that the man would not identify himself and that further police action could not be taken unless she agreed to pursue a disorderly conduct charge against him. The woman then agreed to have the man charged, and police detained the man, who had tried to ride away on his bike “several times,” police said.
The officer informed the man he would be transported to the police department for a fingerprint inquiry since he refused to identify himself. Police searched the man’s person and found a handgun; after finding the man’s driver’s license, police learned he had a valid concealed carry license.
Police cited the man for disorderly conduct and interfering with a village employee and set a July 21 court date.
Repeat home burglar arrested
Riverside police charged a man with felony residential burglary after he was seen trying to gain access to a residence he had previously burgled.
On June 13, an officer responded to the 2900 block of Harlem Avenue on a report of theft to the same residence where police had responded the day before on a report of a burglar who had tried to break into the basement and steal a bike.
The homeowner told police he noticed his surveillance camera was missing when he got home from work around 3:20 p.m. He had checked the footage and saw the same man Riverside police arrested on June 12 trying to gain access to his basement around 1:35 a.m. on June 13 before the camera footage cut off.
The resident told police he did not believe the man in the video had made entry to his basement after the camera stopped recording.
On June 19, Riverside police learned Berwyn police had taken the burglar into custody for retail theft. A Riverside officer contacted Cook County felony review and had one count of residential burglary approved.
Riverside police processed the man on charges of residential burglary and misdemeanor theft before revoking the pretrial release he had been granted on June 12 and taking him to Cook County jail.
Suspended license plates
Brookfield police ticketed a 22-year-old Brookfield man June 25 for driving a vehicle with suspended registration.
Around 3:26 p.m., an officer was on patrol on the 4100 block of Eberly Avenue when their squad car’s license plate reader hit on a gray van nearby. The officer ran the car’s plates through the police database and learned the car had been suspended due to a lack of insurance, police said.
The officer turned on their car’s emergency lights and pulled the van over in a traffic stop. The officer spoke with the driver of the van and asked him for his driver’s license and proof of insurance. He provided both, but the officer ran the man’s information through the database and learned his license expired last July.
The officer cited the man for driving with suspended registration and without a valid driver’s license let him go on his way after setting a July 22 court date.
These items were obtained from the Riverside Police Department reports dated June 13 and the Brookfield Police Department reports dated June 23-30; they represent a portion of the incidents to which police responded. Anyone named in these reports has only been charged with a crime and cases have not yet been adjudicated. We report the race of a suspect only when a serious crime has been committed, the suspect is still at large and police have provided us with a detailed physical description of the suspect as they seek the public’s help in making an arrest.
