Narcotics found in stock of shotgun

A traffic stop for drunken driving led law enforcement to arrest a couple on a collection of charges after the man and woman openly discussed hidden contraband on police surveillance video.

Riverside police stopped Anthony X. Aranda, 25 of the 4000 block of Center Avenue in Lyons, at 2:09 a.m. Oct. 2 for driving erratically and speeding in the 2700 block of Harlem Avenue, police reported.

Aranda failed field sobriety tests, and he refused a portable breath test. He was arrested for drunken driving and put in the back of a police car.

The Riverside officer checked on the passenger, Imelda Marines, 25 of the 6900 block of West Pershing Road in Stickney, and found that she wasn’t sober and couldn’t drive the car. At the same time, Aranda was caught on the police car camera system talking to himself about how he needed to get home right away to get rid of drugs and weapons.

A record check showed Marines had two outstanding warrants for her arrest, according to Riverside police. One was for drunken driving and the other was for a traffic offense, both issued by the Cook County Sheriff’s Police Department.

Marines was arrested, and she openly stated on video surveillance while being taken to the police station that she hid methamphetamines inside her body cavity so police wouldn’t find them.

The officer learned of the drugs and weapons in the Lyons house and inside Marines at the police station when he reviewed the video. An officer searched Marines and found the drugs.

Marines was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance, obstructing police, and she was processed under the two outstanding warrants.

Her criminal history includes narcotics possession and obstructing police.

Investigators searched the Center Avenue house in Lyons with a warrant, and they found a sawed-off shotgun, cocaine, cannabis and drug paraphernalia used for the manufacture and delivery of narcotics, according to Riverside police.

Police found the house was “deplorable,” and the home was boarded up and condemned after the search.

Aranda was charged with DUI, speeding, improper lane use, unlawful use of a weapon by a felon, possession of cocaine and cannabis, manufacture and delivery of cocaine, manufacture and delivery of cannabis and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Police say Aranda is a self-proclaimed and documented Ambrose gang member and a convicted felon. He has a history of weapons charges, drug charges and resisting police.

Good eating from the burbs to the city

Uncle Sam's 
8668 S Cicero Ave, Burbank, IL 60459
On the corner of 87th and Cicero

Well I ordered a Gyros plater and a large mountain dew. The meal was good it came with 2 pita's and enough meat to fill both including  the sauce. It came with a small fry and aside order sold separately of cheese sauce for the fries.

The staff are nice and the place is moderately busy. The bathroom is small like your in the old part of the walk in freezer or freezer that used to be accessed from the out side. So it is very tight squeeze. There is no changing station for parents with small ones. But in all I would recommend this place. It also offers free WiFi and the code is posted right of the menu.

I give it 4 Sears Towers

I ordered a Build a burger which comes on a Pretzel bun. Your choice of white Turkey, char broil beef patty or a garden burger.

This place serves lunch but many caters to breakfast. They made room to fit a stroller and 6 adults which was cool I talked to the parents who are on Metra and CTA for the air and water show. I thought that was cool how they did that. Any way it is a very tight squeeze at the door way and bathrooms are a squeeze but have Kodiak stations for the little ones. This place seems busy all day long.

The staff is outstanding and very knowledgeable of the menu without looking at it. As to the food I ordered the build a burger with chicken comes with lettuce,  tomatoe, onion and pickle, your sides are fries, onion chips coleslaw and fresh fruit. I also sampled their onion rings they are sweet with a nice crunch think the batter is a beer batter, I also had a sample of the chicken wrap which is fantastic. The hamburger took a while to cook but we'll worth the wait. The fries are good could have used some seasalt but good. I'd come back.
I give this place 4.5 Sears Towers

Chicago Blackhawks 3 time Stanley Cup Champ Patrick Kane under investigation

Star Chicago Blackhawks player and Stanley Cup hero Patrick Kane is the target of a statutory rape investigation in his hometown, reports The Buffalo News, citing two law enforcement sources.

The 26-year-old Kane is under investigation by Hamburg Police in South Buffalo. He owns a home in Hamburg, where police were seen Sunday night. The alleged sexual assault took place last weekend, the sources told The Buffalo News.

This coming weekend, Kane was scheduled to bring the Stanley Cup to his hometown.

A WKBW Eyewitness News in Buffalo report, citing sources, suggests the incident with an underage girl began at a bar in Evans over the weekend. Plainclothes detectives in three unmarked cars went to Kane’s home Sunday night, neighbors told the Chicago Tribune, and went into the house with flashlights. One wore gloves and was taking photographs.

Kane is expected to present himself to police for questioning, according to News reporter Tim Graham, again citing law enforcement sources.

The chief of the Erie County District Attorney’s Special Victims Bureau, Roseanne Johnson, has been assigned to the case.

Kane has been with the Blackhawks for all three of the team’s NHL championships. In Game 6 this year, Kane scored the decisive second goal in the third period. He performed well throughout the postseason.

Kane, who has had a girlfriend for the last three years, has gotten into trouble in the past for immature and criminal behavior. In 2009, he was arrested in Buffalo when he and a relative got into an fight with a cab driver. Accused of punching the cabbie, Kane eventually pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct. Embarrassing photos of him partying have been posted on the Internet for years, much to the displeasure of Blackhawks management.

He admitted he needed ”to grow up a little bit.”

This spring, Kane was featured in one of the Chicago Blackhawks’ popular #WhatsYourGoal videos. Kane delivered pizzas to a Downers Grove fire station on behalf of an Oak Forest woman, Courtney O’Leary, who nominated her firefighter husband Kevin O’Leary and his fellow firefighters for the honor.

“It’s an honor for me to come down here,” Kane said as he dished out slices.

Last year, the four-time all-star signed an eight-year contract extension with the Blackhawks.

“I was obviously grateful for the trust and the faith and support given to me by the organization and the front office, and even my teammates, as well,” Kane said at the time. “I think everyone kind of goes through their different maturation process and maybe mine was a little delayed compared to other guys.”
