Lower West Side Crime Blotter: Day #2

Good morning, everyone, it's 10:10am. I'm monitoring the Lower West Side community once again today at points that I missed yesterday, which is just west of the Near South Side community. Anyway, this week is going to be a pretty relaxing one for me. I only have one meeting to go to, and that is for the Avondale Neighborhood Association meeting at 7pm at St. Hyacinth's Church (Resurrection Hall). Then I don't have any more meetings until next Tuesday. And what will add to my relaxing week is the fact I have tomorrow off from school because of the President's Day holiday. Lastly, I will be back with 25 tomorrow from 8am-3:15pm. Here's crime for today.
