A Stone's Throw

Though no one was in the area when police got there, they found a rock in between the window's two panes of glass, according to the report. Both panes had been broken.

Narcotics at La Quinta

Police were called around 7 p.m. to La Quinta Inn, 7255 183rd St., Tinley Park, to help with an investigation led by Will County, according to a police report. Three males and one female were detained in the hallway on the hotel's third floor, police said. Two juveniles from the bunch were released to their parents. But Alexander C. Garcia, 19, no address given, and Jessica R. Siemsen, 18, no address given, were each charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. No additional details were available at 3:35 p.m. Friday.

Stolen Car Recovered

While police were patrolling the Metra 80th Avenue parking lot, 18001 80th Ave., around 2:45 p.m., they approached a car in a parking space that was listed as failing to pay daily commuter fees. The officer ran the license plate through his system and discovered that it was stolen. He confirmed the information through the Chicago Police Department, where the report was originally made, towed the car to the impound yard and contacted the owner. The owner told police he hopes to pick up the car by the end of the month but noted he no longer had keys for it.

Failure to Appear

Nick A. Fantasia, 28, of the first block of West 26th Street in Chicago Heights, was arrested around 5:20 a.m. at the Chicago Heights Police Department on a failure-to-appear warrant out of Tinley Park. His bail was set at $5,000.
