Drinking At Library, While Driving, By Teens: Lake Forest Arrests

LAKE FOREST, IL — The following information comes from the Lake Forest Police Department as a record of those arrested by police. Readers are reminded that an arrest is not an indication of guilt and criminal charges, which represent merely accusations by the state, are often dropped or reduced. All persons named are innocent unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

UNDERAGE DRINKING

Police said on Aug. 15 at 1:21 a.m., two 18-year-old women, one from Lake Bluff and one from Lake Forest, were walking along the 600 block of West Deerpath Road near Route 41 but retreated and ran up a path toward Lake Forest Hospital when police drove toward them. The pair was eventually found on a gravel path near the Lake Forest Club. Police said they immediately detected the smell of alcohol on the breath of the two teens, issued them tickets for minor consumption of alcohol and then gave them a ride home.

INTOXICATED ASSAULT, RESISTING

Robert S. Lindquist, 48, of the 200 block of 17th Street in Wilmette, was arrested Aug. 15 in the 300 block of Deerpath Road at 7:42 p.m. Police said they received a call about a suspicious person at the Lake Forest Library. Lindquist was found sitting on a bench near the library with an opened bottle of wine and appeared to be very drunk. Police said while he was speaking with officers he became agitated and shoved two police officers. He then resisted when he was informed he was being placed under arrest before officers were able to transport him to the station. He was charged with assault, resisting arrest and public intoxication, issued citation and released to his brother.

DUI

Eugenio Garcia Pacheco, 27, of the 200 block of Jackson Avenue in Charleston was arrested near the intersection of West Washington Avenue and Route 41 on Aug. 19 at 11:16 p.m. after police responded to a driving complaint about a black Mustang swerving all over northbound Route 41. Police had been told the car had almost struck other vehicles and was driving erratically. Cops pulled over the Mustang and spoke to the driver, who admitted to drinking a six-pack of beer earlier that night, they said. Police said he failed a field sobriety test and a breath test showed a blood alcohol content of 0.150, nearly twice the legal limit. In addition to a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol, Garcia was issued citations for improper lane usage and illegal transportation of alcohol.

DISORDERLY CONDUCT, ASSAULT

Gregory Binns, 66, of the 1200 block of West Cascade Court, was arrested Aug. 20 at 10:30 p.m. at his home after police responded to a 9-1-1 call about a domestic disturbance involving a person with a knife.
