Chicago – It doesn’t happen often, but the Chicago police managed to arrest two drivers during a widespread street “takeovers” earlier this month. And as usual, both accused men do not live in Chicago.
Police officers were working early on March 2, because Donut-Spinning drivers and hundreds of their fans blocked intersections in the city. On the far south side, a takeover took an ugly turn when a participant threw a large fireworks in the SUV of a passer -by, causing an explosion that set the vehicle on fire.
But that is not where the arrests took place. Instead, the two men were arrested around 1:20 am in Lincoln Park, during a large takeover of the intersection on Fullerton and Cannon Drive, just north of the Lincoln Park Zoo.
According to a CPD report, between 50 and 100 cars were involved, and the police of the local town hall (19th) district surprised everyone by approaching the crowd on foot instead of rolling in with their blue lights and sirens activated.
The officers placed a tire deflation device for the tires of a black Chevy Camaro that allegedly saw donuts in the intersection at the same time with a white Dodge Charger.
According to the report, the charger hit some spectators who had gathered around the intersection to look, but no serious injuries were reported.
Police officers arrested the driver of the Camaro, 26-year-old Oshea Rosenthall of Kankakee, and seized his vehicle. He is accused of reckless behavior, reckless driving, drifting and various registration -violations, all of which are crimes or violations of the regulation.
They also seized a Genesis Coupe from 2013 from Elija Perez, 18, from Oswego. CPD, he spun donuts “accompanied by a crowd that blocks the intersection and a ring of fire.”
He is also confronted with crime charges and violations of the regulation, including crowd action, reckless driving, reckless behavior, drifting and registration-related matters.
