Police arrested Dennis Djirackor of the 1600 block of West Greenleaf Avenue the afternoon of April 2 for possession of crack cocaine, among other charges.

Djirackor, 31, was parked at a bus stop on the 300 block of West Chicago Avenue when two officers on bicycles approached the car to ask why he had stopped at that location.

During the interview, the officers allegedly spotted a small plastic bag that Djirackor had taken out of his pocket and attempted to put in the back seat, where one of his children was sitting.

Djirackor was ordered to get out of the car and placed under arrest after the officers retrieved the bag, which allegedly contained 37 knotted baggies containing a substance later identified as crack cocaine. A search of the car also turned up $1,470 in cash, police said, and officers learned that the driver’s license Djirackor had given them belonged to his brother.

The offender was also charged on counts of having a cracked windshield and not having child seats in the car.

Chyniece Richie, of the 7900 block of S. Langley, was arrested the evening of April 2 for attempting to board a CTA train at the Chicago Avenue Red Line station without paying the fare.

Police arrested Richie, 18, after she was seen following a CTA employee through the turnstiles. About half an hour earlier, police also arrested a 17-year-old boy for jumping the turnstiles at the station. The subject’s parents were notified of the incident and the offender was charged with theft of services.

A man told police that he found a small blade in a burger that he had ordered from a restaurant on the first block of West Grand Avenue on the afternoon of April 3. Employees at the restaurant allegedly told police they were unaware of how the blade got into the food. The victim suffered a small cut on his tongue but refused medical attention.

A 17-year-old boy was arrested for trespassing at the McDonald’s at 600 North Clark Street. The boy, who was part of a large crowd that was disturbing customers at the restaurant at around 10 p.m. on April 2, was detained by a security guard after allegedly making derogatory remarks and refusing to leave the premise.

The guard, an off-duty Chicago police officer, escorted the boy to the security office by picking up him with a bear hug. Later that evening, 19-year-old Iraa Ellis, of the 7300 block of South Greenwood Avenue, was also arrested on similar trespassing charges at the restaurant.

After a night of heavy drinking, a man went to a pharmacy on the corner of Division and State streets to take out money at an ATM machine. Upon leaving the store, the man told police that he was hit from behind by an unidentified attacker while talking on his phone.

The victim was knocked out by the blow, and awoke to find that his wallet and phone were missing. He then walked to Northwestern Memorial Hospital where he was treated and released in good condition. The incident occurred at around 4 a.m. on April 3.
