Chicagoist Weekend Blotter
- Note to criminals: If you're using a crowbar and threatening a partially dressed woman while robbing her home of money and jewelry, saying sorry to her isn't going to get you off the hook.
- Whatever happened to the good old fashioned drunken fist fight? A man in Antioch Township was arrested after police say he threw a lit bottle full of gasoline at a man he had an argument with at a bar.
- Police in west suburban Batavia and St. Charles have arrested four people in a string of exotic pet heists including parrots and sugar gliders.
- A 42-year-old Park Forest man must be really addicted to bologna sandwiches, as this week he chalked up his 160th arrest.
- On the run from the police after just shooting an officer and carjacking an old woman's Saturn? Probably not the time to be kickin' it at a suburban nightclub.
