Stolen Prescription Pads, Hit-And-Run, Drunk Driver Falls Asleep At The Wheel: Hinsdale Police Blotter

The following items were taken from the Hinsdale police blotter. Arrestees are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Burglary

• An employee at Amita Health Neurology at 908 N. Elm St. told Hinsdale police Feb. 24 that between Jan. 20 and Feb. 3, they’d come into the office to find a broken door handle on three separate occasions. The employee said they hadn’t suspected a burglary, but someone was reported as trying to pass fraudulent prescriptions in Buffalo Grove, Bourbonnais, Westchester and Chicago using pads out of the Amita Health office in Hinsdale. Hinsdale police said they don’t know if the incidents are related or if prescription pads were stolen when the office’s door was tampered with.

Hit-and-run

• Sheila A. Wannos, 58, was arrested at 6:05 p.m. Feb. 24 after cops responded to calls of her hitting two separate cars while driving. Wannos, who’s from Villa Park, was initially taken into custody by Villa Park police, who issued her a DUI for driving drunk. She was then transported to the Hinsdale Police Department to deal with an accident that took place in the 400 block of South Jackson Street.

DUI

• Sheila Wannos (above) was charged with a DUI Feb. 24.
• Leticia Torres, 29, of Joliet, was found asleep at the wheel at the intersection of 6th Street and Madison Street at 3:25 a.m. Feb. 25. Cops observed her to be driving drunk, but she refused a field breathalyzer test. She was charged and released to appear in court.
