Busted! takes a look at the more unusual reports that the men and women of the Tinley Park Police Department respond to. Names have been withheld to protect the innocent, the guilty and the embarrassed. The old saying goes that great minds think alike. That sentiment also could apply to full bladders. In the wee hours of Feb. 17, two south suburban men separated by about a few miles and 40 minutes could no longer contain their bodily fluids and decided to relieve themselves at Metra station. And they would have gotten away with it, too, if not for security cameras and a village employee monitoring those aforementioned cameras. FIRST INCIDENT At around 12:20 a.m., a 23-year-old Tinley Park man was caught on camera urinating in the tunnel …

Busted! takes a look at the more unusual reports that the men and women of the Tinley Park Police Department respond to. Names have been withheld to protect the innocent, the guilty and the embarrassed. Trying to gain sympathy from law enforcement after breaking the law has become an acceptable, if somewhat questionable, practice to avoid or lessen punishment. Think tearful pleadings during a traffic stop for speeding. However, you should always think your sob story out. For instance, if your reason for walking out of a store with merchandise you didn't pay for is because you're broke, make sure you're not carrying around enough cash to just about cover the items. Jasmine L. Caldwell, 18, of the 3800 block of Canterbury Court in Richton …

Wouldn't it be nice if there really WAS a pinocchio effect? It would save the cops and the courts a lot of time and money. Politicians would have to strap a roller skate on the end of thier nose just to get around. Ossifer hic, I only had two beers. busted. more ›

Names have been withheld to protect the innocent, the guilty and the embarrassed. Usually, the most awkward part of doing laps in the pool at local health club is occasionally drifting into another swimmer's lane. But that wasn't the case recently for a woman who went for a morning swim at Tinley Park Fitness Center, 17500 S. Duvan Dr., and encountered a fellow health club member who either had a faulty drawstring on his swim trunks or an overinflated sense of immodesty. Or both. According to a Tinley Park Police report, the woman got into the fitness center's pool at 7:05 a.m. on Nov. 20, and swam laps for about an hour…

Names have been withheld to protect the innocent, the guilty and the embarrassed. There comes a time in every man's life when he needs to stand up to injustice. Like when a restaurant doesn't accept your coupon. A 73-year-old man was accused of assaulting a manager Nov. 3 at Old Country Buffet, 16060 S. Harlem Ave., after the manager wouldn't accept the customer's coupon, according to a police report. No one was charged in the incident—the manager was worried what corporate headquarters would think, and the customer was given a trespass notice. And the details of what actually transpired as told by three people involved …

Old Country Buffet (OCB) sucks at accepting coupons. If the manager hasn't seen or heard of the coupon that you're trying to redeem, you get treated like some kind of master counterfeiter out to put OCB out of business by passing them a $5.00 of two dinners coupon! The food is barely fit for human consumption so it's no big loss. I've been through the OCB coupon BS before and we have not been … more ›
