Forest Park Police Blotter

WEDNESDAY, JULY 31

Marijuana Possession

Harrison Gay, 19, of Oak Park, was arrested for marijuana possession around 12:30 a.m. in the 500 block of Circle Avenue.

Because of Gay’s behavior on the bike he was riding through alleys, the time he was riding and a recent rash of car burglaries in the area, police stopped Gay to find out what he was doing. Gay told police he’d taken his sister’s bike out to “blow off steam” after an argument with his mother, police said.
