SATURDAY, FEB. 19

Fog Lights

Alex K. Beaver, 21, of the 11800 block of La Porte Street in Alsip, was charged with driving under the influence and driving without headlights when required. Police said they stopped Beaver’s car in the 17200 block of Wolf Road around 4:15 a.m. for driving with only the fog lights on.

Improper Turn

Greg W. Golembiewski, 29, of the 19600 block of Wolf Road in Mokena, was charged with DUI, improper turn, improper lane usage and driving on a suspended license. Police said they stopped Golembiewski’s car in the 14300 block of LaGrange Road around 1:45 a.m. for swerving and driving over the solid left-turn line.

Stolen Shirt Never Left Store

Danielle N. Maxwell, 21, of the 6600 block of Wolcott Avenue in Chicago, was charged with retail theft and obstructing justice. Security at a store in 15600 block of LaGrange Road told police that Maxwell hid a shirt in her purse and fled in a car around 3 p.m. That car was stopped minutes later near La Grange Road and 159th Street, where police could not find the stolen shirt, according to the report.

Even though an employee told police the shirt was found near the exit of the store, police still charged Maxwell with retail theft. A background check showed she had a warrant for her arrest in Evergreen Park for retail theft, police said.

On the way to the station, Maxwell “violently” kicked the inside passenger-side rear window and screamed “loudly,” according to the report.

Slight Injury at Accident

Michael P. Corcoran, 62, of the 15400 block of Sunflower Court in Orland Park, was charged with DUI and failure to reduce speed to avoid accident. Police said Corcoran struck a car in the 7900 block of 159th Street from behind around 8:30 p.m. The force of that impact pushed the car into a second car, police said. One of the drivers reported a “slight pain in the neck,” according to the report.

Domestic Battery

Colleen L. McInerney, 21, of the 14400 block of Jefferson Avenue, was charged with domestic battery. Police said McInerney punched and slapped a man in her home after he tried keeping her from her car keys and a loaded gun around 3:45 a.m. The gun, which was enclosed in a case at the time, was confiscated by police because McInerney drank alcohol earlier in the night, police said.

Her 16-month-old child was in the other room with a baby-sitter, according to the report.

Violated Median

Robert M. Madia, 24, of the 16200 block of Princeton Avenue in Tinley Park, was charged with DUI, violated median, improper lane usage, driving in wrong lane and driving without lights. Police said they stopped Madia’s car near 84th Avenue and 159th Street around 2:45 a.m. for a slew of traffic-related offenses.

Domestic Battery

George K. Hahn, 40, of the 9200 block of 140th Street in Orland Park, was charged with domestic battery and interfering with reporting a domestic battery. Police said Hahn, sometime that morning, had pulled the hair of the woman driving him, and then struck her on an arm and leg. As the woman called 911, Hahn wrestled the cell phone away, according to the report.

Another woman got between the two to prevent further violence, police said

Men's Clothing

Erica R. Stewart, 27, of the 9100 block of Wentworth Street in Chicago, was charged with retail theft. Security at a clothing store in the 100 block of Orland Park Place Way told police that Stewart hid $237 worth of men’s clothing in bags around noon and left without paying.
