Police Blotter: He Must Like Punching Holes

THURSDAY, JULY 26

Car Attacked

A 49-year-old Chicago Heights man told police his vehicle was damaged in the parking lot of Heights Fresh Market on Chicago Road. When police arrived the vehicle had four flat tires with puncture marks on each tire, a shattered back window, both mirrors knocked off and dents in the driver's side doors, police said. Police also noticed two bricks and two pieces of concrete laying next to the vehicle, according to the report. 

Telephone Harassment

A 31-year-old Chicago Heights woman told police a man called her saying he was a lawyer and that she had to answer his question or a lawsuit would be filed for a "large sum of money." The man asked the woman a question about a past bank account before reciting her social security number, according to the report. When the woman would not answer his question, the man became irate, police said. The woman told police the man has been harassing her since 2010 and that the two were involved in a vehicle accident.

Hole Puncher

A 55-year-old Chicago Heights woman told police she was in an argument with her boyfriend when he punched a hole in her kitchen wall before leaving the house and fleeing on foot. The man punched a hole in a different wall in the house around the same time the week before, police said. Police were unable to locate the alleged hole puncher.

Easy Steal

A 33-year-old Chicago Heights man told police he left for work around 6:30 a.m., leaving his car parked in front of his home with the keys in the ignition. The man said he did this because the car was supposed to be picked up for repair, according to the police report. When the man returned around 11 a.m. the car was missing, and the repair shop told the man they did not pick it up, according to the report.
