WOMAN'S ELECTION SIGN DEFACED
At about 10 a.m. April 29, officers responded to a residence on the 9300 block of Miles Drive on a report of criminal mischief. A 62-year-old woman said someone spray painted a sign attached to her deck. The sign displayed opposition to amendments 2B and 2C in the May 6 municipal election. The words "b*tch" and "blood" were painted on the sign with black spray paint. The woman said she had an altercation with some members of a committee who supported the amendments, and she thinks one of them may have defaced her sign.

FREE-FOR-ALL AT APARTMENT CURBSIDE
At about 9 p.m. April 28, police responded to an apartment complex on the 9800 block of Rosemont Avenue on a report of a civil problem. A 34-year-old man said one of his neighbors was evicted and left boxes of belongings on the curb. He said people were rummaging through the boxes and taking things. Police said most of the items left in the boxes appeared to be garbage. Police were unable to locate the owner of the boxes.

TEENS CITED FOR POSSESSION
At about 10 p.m. April 28, an officer pulled up behind a suspicious looking vehicle parked on the dirt shoulder of Crooked Stick Trail in the area of Bluffs Regional Park. The officer deemed the car suspicious due to high incidents of theft and vandalism at construction sites in the area. The officer contacted two juvenile boys in the vehicle who stated they weren't doing anything wrong. The officer smelled the odor of burnt marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. The driver's eyes also appeared to be bloodshot and watery. A search of the vehicle revealed a glass smoking pipe and a baggie of marijuana. The juveniles were issued summonses for possession of marijuana and released to their parents.

When the officer asked him if he had any weapons, the juvenile said yes. The deputy said he would get the weapon, but the teen reached for the knife in his pocket. The deputy pulled out his gun and the teen dropped the knife in his lap, but still acted as if he was going to grab it, so the deputy pulled him out of the car and handcuffed him.
