INCIDENTS

DRIVING COMPLAINT

A resident called police at 5:20 p.m. Feb. 14 to report that another motorist struck her vehicle after almost striking her. She said she was at the gas pump at the Circle K gas station, 50 W Lake Cook Road, when the motorist in front of her began backing up. She was walking in front of her car as he was backing toward her. She said she was able to avoid being hit, but the person hit her car. She said she confronted them about her displeasure with his driving. The two continued talking inside the store before the other driver left the property in his car. The complainant provided police with the driver's license plate.

SUSPICIOUS PERSON

A resident in the 600 block of Farrington Drive reported at 4:30 p.m. Feb. 14 that a man she did not know was knocking on her rear glass-sliding door of her home, saying he needed to check her water about 30 minutes prior to the call to police. The man then walked to the front of the house and the resident let the man into the home, where they walked to the kitchen to check her water's clarity. The man then grabbed a glass cup, poured water into it from the faucet and poured it back into the sink. He told the resident he would be back in 15 minutes to fix the issue. The resident gave police a description of the man and she was advised to call them back if he returned.
