BURR RIDGE, IL — In the last few weeks, Burr Ridge police handed cases involving a drunk woman laying in bushes, a mulch mess, a strange noise and an abandoned four-wheeler, among others. Here is information from Burr Ridge police reports:

Laying in bushes

• Pleasantview Fire District took an intoxicated woman to the La Grange hospital at 5 p.m. March 9 after she was found laying in bushes on McClintock Drive. She appeared to be drunk. She provided her name and date of birth, but was not carrying any identification.

Mulch mess

• A resident on 89th Street waved down an officer about 7 a.m. March 14 and reported a large pile of mulch on the street, which was making it difficult for cars to pass. The officer found the pile in the eastbound lane in front of 15W627 89th St. No cones or warning devices were near the pile. The officer took photos and forwarded the information to the village's code enforcement department.

Strange noise
