The man told officers he hadn’t lived in the apartment since June 2016, when he was forced to leave as the building underwent significant repairs. No signs of forced entry were found but a similar incident at the same location was previously reported to police. 

DUI

Forest Park police arrested 23-year-old Diamond Williams of Oak Park on Jan. 16 around 1:30 p.m. after her white 2009 Toyota car crashed into a 2007 silver Chrysler 300 near the intersection of Harlem Avenue and Franklin Street. 

Williams, who fled the scene, was charged with felony aggravated driving under the influence, driving with a suspended license, leaving the scene of an accident and aggravated battery. A witness described the Williams to officers, who spotted her nearby at the intersection of Des Plaines Avenue and Dixon Street.

While in custody at police headquarters, Williams allegedly threw a boot, kicked, bit and slapped officers. She has a Jan. 26 court date.
