Woman Tells Police She Was Drugged, Assaulted Friday Night

Police say victim ended up on a bus in Melrose Park.

A woman told police she may have been drugged Friday night while partying with some co-workers at Arena, 630 W. Lake St.

According to an Elmhurst police report, the woman said she began the evening at Arena at about 6:30 p.m. Friday. She said she had two shots of tequila and two beers, and she left her drink at the table several times to go to the bathroom.

She left Arena, and the next thing she remembered was waking up on a party bus and realizing she had thrown up, the police report said. She felt someone grabbing her, and she felt as if her pants were being pulled off but she was unable to stop it and did not know who was doing it, police said. She heard a co-worker telling the offender to "stop doing that."

The bus returned to Arena at about 3 a.m. Saturday, and the victim drove home.

Police determined the incident occurred in Melrose Park, and the victim was advised that she could pursue a criminal complaint with the Melrose Park police.

I agree with you but I don't know if we as just citizen's can do anything to stop that practice. IRead More wish that each cyclist had to have a license, and that it was enforced by laws and police, on the bike so that people could report occurrences and have the person receive a ticket just like a person driving an auto. That would make sense.

A couple of years ago, Villa Park installed "State Law- must stop for pedestrians" signsRead More on the roadways where the Great Western and Prairie Paths cross. I saw a big increase in path users barreling across the streets with no regard for the stop signs on the path.

I was really hoping that the Elmhurst Police would sound in on this info-I do understand kids willRead More be kids, but if one of them is hurt, that adult driver will need to live with that for the rest of their life-so let's come up with a solution for both bicyclist and cars to be in harmony. I really think that a step up in enforcement in the bicycle laws would help-just like the drunk driving laws-believe me the bicycle laws are just as important.
