SUNDAY, APRIL 28

Doing Doughnuts in the Park

An officer at 7:55 a.m. drove past the baseball fields at Doerhoefer Park on the Venard Road side. He saw tire tracks and some torn-up sod in the outfields. "An unknown vehicle drove onto the outfield grass and did a few 'donuts' in the grass of fields 1 and 2," the officer said in his report. Downers Grove Park District keyholders were notified, but did not respond. There were no leads or suspects at the time of the report. The damage is estimated at $100.

DUI, Cannabis Possession

Latonia R. King, of the 2000 block of West 135th Pl, Blue Island, was arrested at 5:06 a.m. at the intersection of Finley Road and Opus. She was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, possession of cannabis, improper lane usage and operating an uninsured vehicle. Her green Buick Century was towed from the scene to an impound lot. King was released on I-bond and has a June 5 court date in Wheaton.

Sucker Punch at Urinal

Police at 12:09 a.m. responded to a disturbance outside a business on the 2100 block of 63rd Street. Several people crowded outside were calmed down. Then one of the officers was approached by an unknown woman who said there was a man inside the bathroom with a serious injury.

The man had a visibly swollen lip and appeared somewhat dazed. He had a large bump on the back of his head and a small amount of bleeding, but did not remember anything. He was not sure why police were speaking to him and did not remember being picked up off the floor. An officer requested medics.

"We questioned several people, but no one was able to give any information about what may have happened," said the police report for this incident. "The only thing we could determine was that it was likely that (the man) was punched while standing at the urinal and did not see who struck him. He could offer no reason for being attacked." There were several other small incidents throughout the night, but it was unclear if any or all of them were related, police said.

Gutierrez was released on I-bond and has a May 29 court date in Wheaton.
