Heated Argument At Restaurant Draws Cops: Burr Ridge Police

BURR RIDGE, IL — A heated argument at a Burr Ridge restaurant last week resulted in police being called, but the dispute was over something relatively minor, according to a police report. A customer told officers he got into the argument with someone else about an employee bumping into him while he sat at a table, police said.

Witnesses who were dining with the customer told an officer the man was having a bad day and overreacted. The customer was asked to leave the property, which he did, police said.

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

• Zachary J. Thurston, 23, was arrested shortly before 2:30 a.m. Jan. 1 at 79th Street and Woodside Lane on a charge of DUI. He was released on bond.
• An officer noticed two people and their 1-year-old child sleeping in a car parked next to a gas pump about 4 a.m. Jan. 1 at Shell gas station, 601 S. Frontage Road. Their car had right side and left rear damage. The officer said he developed reasonable suspicion that the driver had been drinking and driving, but the driver did not show impairment in field sobriety tests and said the damage was old.
• An officer noticed a car parked the wrong way next to an ATM machine for more than a half hour about 3:30 p.m. New Year's Day at Chase Bank, 150 Burr Ridge Parkway. The passenger said he was depositing about $15,000 in cash and checks for his nonprofit organization, Reach Education Fund, which is based in suburban Worth.
• A man told an officer that his friend, who did not want to be named, saw a semi truck back into his 2017 Audi about 2 p.m. Jan. 2 on South Frontage Road. While speaking with the officer, the man decided he no longer wanted to make a police report.
