Police Blotter April 5: Burglary Theft Costs $1,300

The following items are taken from the Evanston Police Department. In all incidents where an arrest occurred, a charge is merely an accusation and not evidence of guilt. The arrested person is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Burglary

A burglar went into a garage on the 2200 block of Lincolnwood Drive and stole a woman's wallet from an unlocked car. The wallet contained identification and credit cards. Before the victim noticed it was missing, the thief had racked up $1,300 in charges on her bank card.

Possession of Drug Paraphernalia

An Evanston woman was seen by police at the corner of Howard Street and Asbury Avenue, waiting at the bus stop and approaching passing cars at 4:02 a.m. on April 4. Police stopped and asked why she was approaching cars and waiting for a bus at a time when no buses are running. Police said she did not give a satisfactory answer, so a female officer searched her and found a small marijuana pipe and a half-burnt cigar blunt. Loara I. Wixson, 51, was arrested and charged with possession of drug paraphernalia. Her court date is set for April 14.
