Brookfield police ticketed a 31-year-old Lockport woman on Aug. 21 for driving with an inoperative headlamp.
Around 9:15 p.m., an officer was driving north on the 4100 block of Prairie Avenue when they noticed a southbound car with its driver’s side headlamp out. The officer pulled the car over near Grove Avenue after it turned east onto Ogden Avenue. After the officer made contact with the driver, she provided her driver’s license and proof of insurance.
The officer ran the woman’s information and learned her driver’s license was suspended. After the officer informed the woman, she said she was aware it had been suspended but thought it had been reinstated.
The officer cited the woman for driving with one headlamp and for driving on a suspended license and issued her a Sept. 30 court date. The woman parked her vehicle legally and was sent on her way after saying she would have family pick her up.
Windshield, mirror smashed
Police responded on Aug. 24 to a Brookfield resident who reported his car had been damaged overnight. No one was arrested.
Around 8 a.m., an officer arrived on the 4400 block of Raymond Avenue and spoke with the resident, who said he had last seen his car undamaged around 7 p.m. the previous night before discovering damage to the windshield and driver’s side mirror that morning. The resident also said he saw broken glass on the street and three bricks lying nearby.
Police searched the street for residential surveillance cameras and made contact with a homeowner whose cameras captured the incident.
In footage obtained from the neighbor’s cameras, police saw two individuals enter the area around 6:32 a.m. who threw three objects at the resident’s car before leaving.
Police obtained camera footage from another neighbor, which showed the two individuals were one man and one woman who exited from what appeared to be a Chevrolet Malibu before approaching the resident’s car. After they threw the objects at the man’s car, police observed a brick striking its windshield and another striking the back of the car. A glass bottle also struck the broken mirror before breaking into shards.
Police collected shards of the broken bottle for evidence, but fingerprint dusting did not yield either individual’s identity.
These items were obtained from the Brookfield Police Department reports dated Aug. 18-25; they represent a portion of the incidents to which police responded.
