DISORDERLY CONDUCT

A complainant reported May 13 that his ex-father-in-law told him that he would be coming after him for tax evasion, stealing money from him and making secret deals with the ex’s old business partner. The ex also told the complainant that he would be making life very difficult for him and his family. The complainant did not want the ex contacted due to ongoing court cases.

Someone made six unauthorized charges totaling $955 to a resident’s account, the victim reported May 16. All six transactions took place online. The bank has been notified.

Someone made an unauthorized $303 withdrawal from a resident’s account, the victim reported May 5. The transaction took place in Chicago.

A resident reported three video games and a drill with charger were taken from her home between May 11-14. The games are valued at $185 and the drill is valued at $300. The resident suspects one of her daughter’s friends.
