Police Reports
Teen caught shoplifting video
games valued at more than $600
Samuel H. Cantrell, 19,
of 8558 Tullamore Drive in
Tinley Park, was charged
Dec. 14 with retail theft.
According to police reports,
an officer was dispatched
to the 11300 block
of West Lincoln Highway
in response to a shoplifter
in custody. Upon arrival, the
officer spoke with the security
manager, who informed
the officer that he knew of
Cantrell from a previous
retail theft that Cantrell had
yet to be charged for. The
security manager followed
Cantrell to the bathroom. At
the time Cantrell entered the
bathroom, he was carrying
a hand carrier with multiple
video games in the basket.
When Cantrell exited the
bathroom, the hand carrier
and the video games inside
it were no longer on his person.
The manager then followed
Cantrell past the last
point of sale and confronted
him. The video games — six
of them with a total value of
$119.94 — were discovered
wrapped in Cantrell’s sweatshirt.
He was then placed under
arrest.
Then, on Dec. 18, the
same security manager went
to Mokena Police Department
with video footage
from Nov. 29 that appeared
to show Cantrell removing
video games from their
packaging, placing them
in a sweatshirt and leaving
without paying for them.
The video footage reportedly
showed Cantrell stealing
a total of 10 games on
Nov. 29, worth $499.90. An
officer contacted Cantrell
and advised him to come to
the police station. Cantrell
turned himself in later that
day and was arrested again.
Dec. 21
• Narvell X. Garfield, 27,
of 16453 Spaulding Ave. in
Markham, was charged with
driving on a suspended/revoked
driver’s license, operation
of an uninsured motor
vehicle and driving with
only one red tail light.
According to police reports,
an officer performing stationary
radar at the intersection
of West Lincoln Highway
and South Wolf Road
observed Garfield driving a
vehicle that had its driver’s
side tail light out. The officer
initiated a traffic stop
and asked to see Garfield’s
driver’s license and proof
of insurance. Garfield produced
a driver’s license but
was unable to provide proof
of insurance.
A check on Garfield’s driver’s
license came back as
suspended. Garfield was
then placed under arrest.
Dec. 20
• Latanye T. Keys, 42, of
3321 W. 173rd St. in Hazel
Crest, was charged with
driving on a suspended/revoked
driver’s license and
failure to dim her headlights.
According to police reports,
an officer on patrol traveling
westbound in the 10300
block of West 191st Street
observed an approaching vehicle
that appeared to have
its high beams on. The vehicle
continued past the officer
without dimming the high
beams, so the officer initiated
a traffic stop.
Keys was able to produce
proof of insurance to the
officer but not a driver’s
license. A check on her
driver’s license came back
as suspended. She was then
placed under arrest.
