Man Overdoses On Suspected Heroin

Paramedics and police found a 38-year-old man lying lifeless on a bathroom floor with a needle and syringe  in his lower arm Monday at about 6 p.m. They had been called by a fellow resident of the victim's at the YMCA, 6300 W. Touhy, Niles. 

The caller, a 36-year-old man, had found the victim, started to administer CPR and called the YMCA's front desk. A female YMCA employee called 911.

Paramedics were able to revive the victim and take him to Resurrection Hospital. Police photographed the used needle and syringe and collected a plastic bag containing white powder, which they suspected was heroin. 

Two youths throw brick at car in traffic

Sami Allam, 18, of Des Plaines was charged with disorderly conduct after he and two others--one of whom was a 17-year-old male juvenile from Des Plaines-- threw a brick at the car of a 36-year-old woman while she was stopped at a traffic light at Greenwood and Golf Road on Thursday May 5 at about 8:30 p.m. 

The brick caused damage to the car, and the victim said the offenders ran away heading west. A Niles police officer arriving on the scene saw three young men running away and was able to stop the 17-year-old. They later found Allam in the 8700 block of Gregory Lane. The victim identified them as the offenders, and said she would sign complaints, but never arrived at the police station to do so.
