Roommate Strikes On Lawndale

Good morning, everyone, it's 9:26am. Today is day #2 of the St. Hyacinth's carnival. Yesterday, being the first day, was pretty calm. Which is good. We'll see how today goes. It opens at 6pm again, but lets out at 11 tonight, instead of 10, like last night. My special coverage, which will be in this color, will go from 9:30 until midnight. To prevent myself from falling asleep, I'll take a nap around 4. Anyway, it's hot out today. Highs in the low 90s with a mix of clouds and sun. So, here's crime for today.

9:32am - Battery. 1813 N Lawndale. Roommate struck the caller with some sort of object. Caller refused medical attention.

9:35am - Two things. One, a slow down is being given on the 9:32am job and two, there's a parker at 3901 W Belden.

Around 3:15pm - Some call at 2907 N Springfield.

3:21pm - 1) Burglar alarm. 3055 N Pulaski. 2) Assault. 3659 W Diversey. Landlord tenant the caller. And the caller is a friend of mine, too...

3:48pm - 1) Assault. 3749 W Lyndale. Classmate from school threatened to kill the teen caller. 2) Parker. 2730 N Lawndale.

4:24pm - Alright, I'm off to take a nap. I'll be back by 5.

4:57pm - I'm back.

5:01pm - Domestic disturbance. 2545 N Avers. Boyfriend's refusing to leave.

5:13pm - Disturbance. 3105 N Haussen. Landlord threw some of the caller's things out.

8:46pm - Reckless driver. Avers and Armitage.

9:23pm - Assault. 3028 N Kostner.

9:30pm - Special coverage of the carnival has started. The boundaries are, again, Oakdale to the north, Ridgeway to the west, Schubert to the south and Central Park to the east. This will go for the rest of the night. This will allow me to monitor any and all activity around the immediate vicinity of the carnival much easier. I'm paying particular attention to when the carnival lets out at 11. Unless there's anything major (large groups loitering, fights, gunshots, etc.) elsewhere in the area, don't except to see calls outside of the boundary area.

10:50pm - The carnival lets out in 10 minutes. I'm standing by...

11:00pm - It should be letting out now. Listening for anything.

11:13pm - So far, so good.

11:28pm - Disturbance. 2927 N Ridgeway.

12:00am - Alright, I'm off to dream land. The carnival seems to have been peaceful again tonight, so I will not do any special coverage on it tomorrow. Good night, everyone.

There were 3 fights tonight around Allen Ave. I wonder why none were called in. Two in our alley (related) and one a few hours later in the street (unrelated). I've noticed more and more hostility in this area of Avondale.

Thanks for doing this and thanks for keeping info on landlords with gangbangers available by request. BTW a few days ago someone mentioned that the gangbangers from George and Avers have been kicked out and are driving around in a black Nissan Maxima. I wouldnt be surprised if that the same car parked by George and Ridgeway in front of the building that has been packed with bangers for years. Is it time to call the city? The landlord? The alderman?
