full_579_ 950 Spring Creek Rd.: Police were called to an apartment at this address on Sept. 29 on a disorder. According to an affidavit of complaint, when officers arrived they heard arguing coming from inside the apartment. When officers were allowed to enter, they spoke with Raymond Shook, 33, who said that he had just been released from jail earlier that night on a previous domestic assault charge. Shook told police that he had called the victim’s sister and asked “what’s been going on around here?” Shook said that the victim “flew off the handle” and slashed him with a knife that she immediately placed back inside a kitchen drawer. The report states that officers observed a serious laceration on Shook’s arm, but it appeared to be from a shard of glass. The report states that officers looked inside the kitchen drawer and did not find a bloody knife. 

Police then spoke with the female victim. The woman told officers that she had taken a phone call and that Shook did not believe that the victim was talking with her sister. The victim said that Shook slapped her twice in the face and spit on her. The report states that police saw a red mark on the woman’s face consistent with having been slapped. The woman told officers that Shook broke her phone and a glass vase, leaving shards of glass scattered about the apartment. 

The report states that while officers were speaking with Shook they observed the man had watery eyes and he smelled of alcohol. Shook was arrested for Domestic Assault and taken to Parkridge East hospital for treatment of the laceration on his arm. 

_ 3608 Craig Rd.: Police were dispatched to the address late Thursday afternoon in reference to a disorder. According to an affidavit of complaint, when officers arrived they spoke with a woman who said that her boyfriend, Michael Sean Frizzelle, had been involved in a verbal argument over him having keys to her car. The woman told police that Frizzelle had taken her children to get pizza in her car after having been drinking. The report states that the woman told officers that Frizzelle was driving despite having had his drivers license revoked for having multiple DUIs. 

The woman told officers the couple began arguing after she asked for her keys to be returned. The woman said that Frizzelle became verbally abusive toward her then turned his anger on the woman’s nine-year-old child, after the child had commented that Frizzelle had “soiled” himself.
