Cussing Customer, Flirty Calls: Burr Ridge Cops

BURR RIDGE, IL — In recent days, Burr Ridge police have handled cases involving a cussing customer, flirtatious calls, a well-being check, a garbage truck spill and a tired Amazon worker. Here is information from the latest Burr Ridge police reports:

Cussing customer

The manager of Capri Ristorante, 324 Burr Ridge Parkway, told police about 4 p.m. Dec. 22 that a customer was cussing at employees because the business had no available table for him. Before an officer arrived, the customer had left in a 2016 Lexus.

Flirtatious calls

A resident on 79th Street told police Dec. 22 that a man who identified himself as Deon had been calling her since August. The man has never threatened the woman, as the calls had been flirtatious in nature. An officer tried to call the man, but received no answer.

Well-being check

A woman on Dec. 24 requested police conduct a well-being check for a man who lives on Carlisle Court. She said she had not spoken to her friend since May and wanted to make sure he was fine. An officer spoke with the man, who said he was fine and did not want to speak with the woman. The man's wife asked whether the officer could tell the woman to stop trying to contact her husband or they would pursue an order of protection. When the officer told this to the woman, she was upset because she said she knew the man wanted to talk with her but that his wife wouldn't let him. She said she would not try to contact him anymore.

Garbage truck spill

An officer investigated a spill of possible transmission fluid Dec. 22 on Garfield Avenue. It was believed to have come from a garbage truck. The officer contacted the owner of Flood Brothers, a garbage service. A driver from the company later admitted that a load of trash was leaking from a garbage truck. The officer informed the company's owner that the city's public works department would contact him to work out compensation for the spill cleanup. The owner said he understood.

Roofers unwelcome

A resident in the 11800 block of Cross Creek Court told police Dec. 23 that two men in a white pickup truck came to her front door claiming to be roofers. She told them she never called a roofer. The two left. Police were unable to find any vehicles matching the description.

Tired Amazon worker

An officer found a man sleeping in his 2010 Hyundai about 3 a.m. Dec. 24 near Burr Ridge Parkway and County Line Road. He said he had been delivering all day for Amazon and needed to rest before getting on the interstate. The man went on his way.
