Car Thumpers

Ryan Dennis Courtney, 27, of the 6N600 block of Brookhaven Lane, and William D. Signore, 23, of the 39W600 block of Carl Sandburg Road, were each charged at 11:30 p.m. Dec. 7 in the 200 block of West Main Street with disorderly conduct. According to the police report, an officer on foot patrol heard a car horn being used repeatedly and saw two men yelling at a female driver stopped at a traffic light. The officer said they also apparently were making contact with the car because he heard a thumping sound.

The officer said the woman then exited the car and began yelling at the two men. The woman, a Geneva resident, then got back into her car as the two men walked away, but she identified herself to the officer as he stopped Courtney and Signore. A West Chicago woman, who also had stopped at the same traffic light, told the officer she witnessed the incident. Both women told the officer the Geneva woman did nothing to provoke the incident. The two men were booked and released. Damage to the Geneva woman’s car was limited to some scuff marks, police said.
