Police News

A 25-year-old Chicago woman was charged with Aggravated Unlawful Use of a Weapon (Class 4 Felony) and Disorderly Conduct following a fight at Astoria Banquets Sept. 23.  Police reports say the woman was carrying a Smith & Wesson SD9 VE 9 mm, but did have a concealed carry permit. The fight, police say, began inside the facility before spilling into the parking lots. Officers from both the Arlington Heights and Buffalo Grove police departments responded.
A 52-year-old Wheeling man was charged with Domestic Battery following an incident at the Shell station at Illinois Rt. 83 and Lake-Cook Road. Police reports indicate the incident stemmed from an argument between the man and his female companion in their Wheeling residence. Police reports and witnesses say the woman threw a liquid in the man’s face which led to a physical altercation in which the man reportedly wrestled the woman to the ground and repeatedly punched her in the face.
