The first weekend in May brought some beautiful weather here in Chicago, and while most of us were in lockdown, that didn’t stop some ridiculous crimes from taking place.
Thanks to social media, some of the most outlandish police scanner calls can be relayed to the general public in almost real-time. There are several Twitter accounts that track such occurrences, and some of the reports are even more outrageous than typical “Florida Man…” headlines. During this sports drought, I decided to round up some of the heinous reports to review the past week in Chicago crime.
The first weekend in May brought some beautiful weather to Chicago, and while most of us were in lockdown, that didn’t stop some ridiculous crimes from taking place.
68th Pl/Hamilton: Cameron says a 65yo male has been stabbed in the chest and Snoop Dogg did it. #Chicago#ChicagoScanner
Snoop Dogg is roaming the streets of Chicago in the middle of a global pandemic stabbing 65-year-olds? I’m going to need more context here to believe this one.
Snoop Dogg when he read this report
Caller says him and his girlfriend worked it out, they don't need the police anymore, they love each other, and she put the taser away. #Chicago#ChicagoScanner
Based on earlier reports, we know that Snoop Dogg was allegedly in Chicago this weekend. Was this his brownie and was he upset that someone else ate it? It’s starting to make sense now.
Belmont & Karlov – A bicylist just damaged the callers Tesla, got back on his bike then rode to the Foremost Liquors at Belmont & Cicero. He's asking for assistance.#ChicagoScanner
This is why it’s important to make sure you are stocked up on beer and liquor before you start drinking, folks. Sure, the alleged offender made a decent choice not getting behind the wheel of a car, but Steve’s Tesla has been parked there for over a month and you should have known not to ride on that side of the street.
016: 5600 block W Patterson Caller says the neighbor cut his grass w/o his approval & now he's cutting another neighbor's grass, an ongoing issue#Chicago#ChicagoScanner
I’m struggling to find out why the police were even called here. If someone wants to cut my grass, be my guest, even better if they want to do it all the time.
25: 3109 N Luna – a call of a naked man on top of the roof on the house.
