Drunken Man With Bloody Hand Walks Into Office: Burr Ridge Cops

BURR RIDGE, IL — A highly intoxicated man with blood on his hand walked into the Mars Chocolate front office, 660 79th St., early in the morning last Wednesday, police said. The man was later determined to have been involved in a hit-and-run crash in nearby Westmont.

About 4 a.m., police were called about the man. He was taken to the hospital in Hinsdale for treatment. While investigating, police received a report of a red Chevrolet pickup parked on northbound Interstate 55 near Madison Street in connection with the case. Then they referred the case to the Westmont Police Department after getting the information on the hit-and-run.

Here is more information from the Burr Ridge Police Department's latest blotter:

• Threatening voicemails were made to a senior priest. The messages were reported about 2 p.m. Jan. 8. The senior priest was in meetings all day. Police said the priest would have to make the report in person if he wanted it documented.
• A resident on Chestnut Hills Circle reported six solicitors about 2 p.m. Jan. 8. Officers spoke with one of them. He said he was a Jehovah's Witness spreading the word of God. Officers determined there was no criminal activity.
