Close to the holiday season, a few odd events caught the attention of local law enforcement. For instance, a man in Evergreen Park aimed to spit on a security officer while being arrested at Walmart. The incident was caught on camera, showing the man's unusual behavior. Meanwhile, in the same area, two masked individuals broke into Ulta Beauty store, smashing windows and grabbing cosmetics. The getaway car was later found to have a stolen license plate. In another case, a driver in Evergreen Park was arrested for drunk driving despite having his license revoked for previous offenses. He also tried to escape the police before his arrest. These incidents are just a few in a series of strange occurrences that happened over the past few weeks.

Over in New Lenox, a woman caused a scene at a KFC, pushing an employee and throwing her food order after complaining it was incomplete. Furthermore, a man in Orland Park was accused of stealing money from a local animal hospital. In a bizarre case in Palos Hills, a Florida man was arrested for driving under the influence after a car crash. Additionally, a Park Forest resident was charged with aggravated battery after dislocating an officer's finger during an arrest. Another resident in the same area was found with a revoked gun permit and ammunition. A teenager from University Park was arrested for shooting a man and possessing an illegal weapon. Lastly, in Peotone, a lottery ticket display was stolen from a truck stop, and investigators are still looking into the matter.
These incidents underscore the variety of issues that local law enforcement deal with regularly. While some may seem trivial, others are serious crimes that affect the community. It's crucial to stay aware and report any suspicious activities to help keep neighborhoods safe.
