E-Bikers Cause Hinsdale Disturbances: Cops

HINSDALE, IL – Hinsdale police released their weekly blotter Wednesday. Here is information from the reports:

E-bike group disturbances

• A man told police that someone threw a rock that broke his car window after he confronted a group of people riding electric bicycles. The incident occurred about 10 p.m. July 15 in the 10 block of West Hinsdale Avenue. Around the same time, the e-bike group surrounded a woman's car in the 800 block of South Oak Street while she was driving and scratched her car. In both cases, the victims delayed reporting the issues, Police Chief Brian King said. Police said they have no suspects. The group appears to be the same one that authorities earlier alleged created problems that same night in Burr Ridge and Hinsdale.

Hit-and-run

• Someone hit a parked car between 8:20 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. July 7 at Chicago Avenue and County Line Road. The driver then left. The damage was reported 11 days later. The case is pending.

DUI

• A 38-year-old Arlington Heights man was arrested about 11 p.m. Sunday at Route 83 and 55th Street on charges of DUI, driving with a suspended license, failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, driving the wrong way on a one-way street and illegal transportation of alcohol. Police said he had open alcohol containers. He refused testing to determine his blood-alcohol content. He was released and given a date to appear in court.
• A 27-year-old Woodridge man was arrested about 11 p.m. Monday at 55th and Madison streets on charges of DUI, driving an uninsured car, improper lane use and illegal transportation of alcohol. Police said he had open alcohol containers. He refused testing to determine his blood-alcohol content. He was released and given a date to appear in court.
