Updated: August 13, 2012 1:47AM
The following incidents in unincorporated Maine Township were compiled by the Cook County Sheriff’s Department. Readers are reminded that an arrest does not constitute a finding of guilt. Only a court of law can make that determination.
Robert Blasko, 39, of the 9600 block of Golf Terrace, unincorporated Maine Township, was charged with domestic battery May 18 after a family member accused him of pushing her to the ground, causing an injury to her leg. She was treated by paramedics at the scene.
Jerry Rodriguez, 25, of the 9000 block of Capitol Drive, unincorporated Maine Township, was charged with domestic battery May 19. Police reportedly located a woman lying on the grass on the 9000 block of Capitol Drive with scrapes, cuts and bruises on her leg. According to police a witness reported seeing Rodriguez push the woman and drag her across the parking lot. She was transported to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital by paramedics.
Juan Ramirez, 27, of the 9600 block of Greenwood Avenue, unincorporated Maine Township, was charged with simple battery May 21. Police said an off-duty police officer reported seeing a man, later identified as Ramirez, exit a vehicle that was stopped for a traffic light and begin striking a man who was in the backseat of the car. The off-duty officer stopped the vehicle when Ramirez allegedly attempted to strike the backseat passenger again. Police said Ramirez was also accused of swearing at responding officers and threatening to kill them.
