NO ARREST: Administrative Adjudication Complaint

Harold C. Williams, 34, 3244 Western Ave., Park Forest, was issued an administrative adjudication complaint charging disorderly conduct after police responded to the 3200 block of Western Avenue in reference to a report of a disturbance. According to the complainant, Mr. Williams allegedly pulled a gun on someone after a dispute over garbage cans. Due to the conflicting statements from Mr. Williams, the complainant, his family, and an independent witness, police decided that Mr. Williams would not be taken into custody. The complainant wished to pursue the matter further and subsequently signed a complaint which was scheduled to be heard on May 9 at the Park Forest Police Department. Mr. Williams was released and his firearm was returned to him on the scene, according to police. He was not arrested.

Officers spoke Mr. Williams who had been standing near his vehicle in the parking lot. Mr. Williams related to officers that he had placed his trash where he had been instructed and had gone back inside his apartment when he allegedly observed another resident bring the trash bag back over to his porch and place it there. Mr. Williams than exited his residence and confronted the other resident asking him what he was doing and telling him he had placed the trash bag where management had told him to. Allegedly, the other resident became belligerent with Mr. Williams and threatened him at which time a verbal argument ensued. According to the report, the argument progressed and almost turned physical. At this point, Mr. Williams said that several other people had come out of the other resident’s apartment and both men backed off and walked back to their respective apartments.

Mr. Williams stated that he attempted to speak to the other resident civilly about the issue when he first confronted him, but allegedly the other resident was very upset and allegedly was the primary aggressor in the incident. Officers advised Mr. Williams that it had been alleged that he had pulled out a handgun and pointed it at the other resident to which Mr.Williams denied. According to the police report, Mr. Williams stated that he did have a concealed carry permit and did have a concealed handgun in a holster at his right hip, but never displayed or eluded to the fact that he had a gun. Mr. Williams guessed that allegedly the other resident may have observed that he had a handgun on his waist during the altercation, but that he did not take it out and point it at him at any time.

An officer spoke to an independent witness, according to the report, who alleges that she was in her apartment when she heard yelling coming from outside. When she walked outside, she allegedly observed Mr. Williams and the other resident standing in close proximity while yelling and cursing. The other resident was allegedly acting belligerent and said he was going to “Kick Mr. Williams’ ass.” The two eventually separated, and the witness claims to have not seen Mr. Williams display or point a gun at the other man at any time and never heard mention of it until police informed her of the situation. The witness advised that she did not know Mr. Williams personally other than knowing that he had recently moved into his apartment, and neither did she know the other resident or his family personally.

An officer advised Mr. Williams that she was going to remove his firearm from the holster and unload and secure it until the investigation was concluded. Mr. Williams complied and according to the report, the officer took possession of the handgun, a black Taurus sub-compact pistol, and subsequently unloaded it. Mr. Williams was found to have a valid Illinois concealed carry permit.

According to the police report, it was determined that due to conflicting statements Mr.Williams would not be taken into custody. The other resident wished to pursue the matter further and subsequently signed an administrative adjudication complaint against Mr. Williams for disorderly conduct. Mr. Williams signed and received a copy of the citation and was assigned a court date of May 5 at the Park Forest Police Department. Mr. Williams’ firearm was returned to him on the scene.

After monitoring traffic for approximately ten minutes, the officer observed a white SUV allegedly traveling eastbound on Route 30 at a high rate of speed. The officer activated the front-mounted radar on the patrol vehicle and allegedly observed the SUV was traveling at 64 mph in a posted 40 mph zone, according to police.

According to the police report, the officer pulled onto Route 30 and followed the alleged offending vehicle eastbound. Prior to reaching the intersection of Route 30 and Orchard Drive, the SUV allegedly slowly veered from the center lane of traffic into the curb lane of traffic without signaling. After this, the vehicle allegedly veered to the leftmost portion of the curb lane and regained the center of the curb lane.

The officer followed the vehicle to the intersection of Route 30 and Western Avenue. Allegedly, the vehicle signaled to turn southbound on Western Ave and did so on a green traffic signal. However, the vehicle allegedly turned into the center lane, failing to remain in the curb lane on a right-hand turn, according to police. According to the police report, the officer activated the emergency lighting on his patrol vehicle and curbed the vehicle on Western Avenue just north of Illinois Street.

The officer then asked Mr. Leggans if he was armed or unarmed security to which Mr. Leggans allegedly stated he was unarmed.

The officer informed Mr. Leggans the reason for the stop and asked Mr. Leggans how many drinks he had consumed that night. Mr. Leggans allegedly replied that he had consumed two drinks, the last drink two hours prior, and apologized to the officer. According to the report, the officer detected the odor of alcoholic beverage emanating from the vehicle and another officer arrived on the scene to assist.

Mr. Leggans was found to have a valid Illinois Driver’s License and no concealed carry license on file. The officer requested that Mr. Leggans submit to a field sobriety test and directed Mr. Leggans to the rear of his vehicle for testing.

According to the report, the officer elected not to have Mr. Leggans perform the one leg stand due to Mr. Leggans’ injuries and because of the injuries and Mr. Leggans lack of ability to perform the standardized field sobriety testing, the officer discontinued his DUI investigation for the time being.
