OMG PD: Egg Roulette, Moving Mini-Monolith, Mailbox Never Had a Chance

A round-up of recent and bizarre police report items from the area.

GENEVA

The mystery of the moving mini-monolith

You know those monolithic human figures carved by the Rapa Nui people from rock on the Chilean Polynesian island of Easter Island between the years 1250 and 1500? Yeah, those things. Well, a 4-foot-tall one was taken from the front of a Geneva home recently. We are not making this up.

Someone stole the “Easter Island Head” sculpture from the front yard of a residence in the 2200 block of Pepper Valley Drive sometime between 6 p.m. Nov. 16 and 7 a.m. Nov. 17, Geneva police reports said. The 4-foot cement statue had an estimated value of $100.

ST. CHARLES

Walking under the influence and no narcing

Brenna A. Ingersol, 22, of the 300 block of South 3rd Street, was cited at 1:47 a.m. Nov. 25 at West Main and North 3rdstreets with disorderly conduct/public drunkenness. Police said the woman was nearly struck by a vehicle when she started to cross the intersection against the light. Police described her as very drunk, but she would not tell officers where she was drinking, according to the report, because she did not want to get the bars in trouble.

The mailbox never saw it coming

William Lee Rawson, 20, of the 1500 block of Avalon Court, was charged at 11 a.m. Nov. 25 with hit and run, and texting while driving. According to police, an officer saw Rawson at 8:44 a.m., Nov. 24, returning to the driver’s seat from outside a Pontiac Grand Prix pulled over on the 1000 block of Oak Street. The officer saw the windshield was smashed and followed Rawson to his workplace, where Rawson was issued a written warning for the broken windshield. But the officer knew there had been a hit-and-run accident at 5:23 a.m. at 1724 Division St., where a mailbox had been struck by a vehicle. Wood found on the car was consistent with the hit-and-run accident to the mailbox, police said. When the officer confronted Rawson about the evidence, he told police he struck the mailbox while he was texting and driving. Because Rawson was the only employee working, officers allowed him to finish his shift. Rawson turned himself in at the St. Charles Police Department on Sunday morning. He was released on his own recognizance pending a Jan. 13, 2013, court appearance.

GLEN ELLYN

Not so decorative statue

Someone with an apparent vendetta against lawn ornaments broke parts of a decorative yard statue at a home in the 700 block of Lenox Road, police said. The incident took place between 1:30 p.m. Nov. 22 and 9 a.m. Nov. 23. There was no estimated value for the statue.

Recycling bin back float

Someone entered a bath and tennis club outside a pool area Wednesday night and threw a large recycling dumpster into the pool in the 0-99 block of West Bailey Road, police said.
