Two Arrests for Tagging
- Bail has been set in the case of two men charged with the July 23 spray-painting of a wall at a memorial dedicated to police officers killed in the line of duty.
Prosecutors said Anthony Ortega, 24, of the 2600 block of West Touhy Avenue and Robert Ray, 26, of the 7100 block of West Foster Avenue spray-painted their "tagger" names—nicknames that graffiti artists often spray in high-visibility areas—on a wall at the Gold Star Families Memorial and Park, located at Waldron and Museum Campus Drives.
They were arrested and charged with criminal damage to government property, a felony. On Wednesday, Judge Raymond Myles set bail at $40,000 for Ortega and at $50,000 for Ray, a tax auditor who is on special probation for a case involving possession of a controlled substance.
Government property? Can someone explain? We were under the impression it was private property.

post these jagoffs info in each and every police station. you can't get any lower. knowing them, they probably pissed in the fountain too. fucking strokes.......
If I continue to give contributions to the memorial every check for fear of retaliation, will I still get the same award the political hacks will give themselves very soon for the memorial??
Or is it just expected of the po's with no clout to keep giving and get nothing in return?
SCC....
Funny thing is A LOT of the bosses at HQ DO READ this blog. SHHHHHH. It is our little secret. SCC, you really are changing policy or at least making many exempts very angry. They all deny they read it, but in small circles or at the bars they know exactly what was posted. I think many would harm you if they got the chance. Gotta go, its time for Maureen and I to get all of the exepmts lunch for free at Ricobene's. And we have to kiss ALL their asses because we don't know which one will be the Supt. very shortly.
Dumbfucks used their tag names, so glad that shitheads are so stupid.
Did Phat Phil catch them singlehandedly after leaving his three lemon chicken dinners at Tufanos?
Surprised Sneed hasn't givne him the credit.
What names did they use?

HEAVEN HELP US IF A POLICE OFFICER IS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED DUE TO THE SERIOUS MANPOWER SHORTAGE. LAWSUITS GALORE!!!
MANPOWER IS APPORTIONED BY CALLS FOR SERVICE, CALL 911 ANYTIME YOU SEE ANYTHING EVEN REMOTELY CRIMINAL IN 016...LOAD THE DISTRICT WITH CALLS FOR SERVICE,TELL ALL YOUR RELATIVES AND FRIENDS TO DO THIS TOO.
MORE CALL EQUAL JOB SECURITY,MORE MANPOWER IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS AND LESS CRIME...WE DESERVE POLICE SERVICE IN 008,016,022
Anger over reported GANG ACTIVITY and other problems in the Dickinson Park area sparked a contentious 2.5 hourlong meeting between police and more than 100 residents.
"You've put this on our plate,"16th District Commander Ralph Price said at the monthly Beat 1624 meeting. "Let us solve it with our resources and working with you. I AM GIVING YOU MORE RESOURCES."
Residents voiced concern at the meeting about what they said was SLOW POLICE RESPONSE TO EMERGENCY CALLS and PROBLEMS OF GRAFFITI AND GANG RECRUITMENT in the park,4101 N. LaVergne Ave. They also reported that there have been a large number of other disturbances near the park,including a recent street brawl,and that teenagers have been loitering in the park's paylot which is restricted to children age 12 and younger.
Commander Ralph Price said that increased patrols are planned for the park and that SEATBELT SAFETY INSPECTIONS may be held near the park in an effort to increase police presence. He said that he will discuss the possibility of installing a SURVEILLANCE CAMERA in the park with the alderman.
COMMUNITY POLICING REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE MAYO'R OFFICE RECOMMENDED THAT RESIDENTS FORM A BLOCK CLUB and THAT THEY WALK AROUND THE PARK shortly before it closes at 9:30PM and report suspicious activity to the police. A Chicago Park District spokeswoman said later that a sign with the closing time of the park is missing but that a new one has been ordered.
Last week the district held an OUTDOOR ROLL CALL in the park,lathough some residents there dismissed the event as a PUBLICITY STUNT. District officials said that more outdoor roll calls are planned for the area,including one which may be held in front of the house of a man who was arrested recently in connection with two incidents near the park.
Also a the meeting,Price responded to accusations THAT THE DISTRICT LACKS SUFFICIENT MANPOWER because one of its two gang teams,each with eight officers and a sergeant if often assigned to violent crime areas in other districts as part of a CITYWIDE EFFORT TO REDUCE THE CITY'S MURDER RATE.
Price said that the Chicago Police Department would be "REMISS" IF IT DIDN'T ASSIGN EXTRA OFFICERS TO HELP SOLVE MURDERS AND THAT THE OFFICERS LEARN VALUABLE INFORMATION ABOUT GANGS WHEN THEY WORK IN OTHER DISTRICTS,HELPING THEM TO INVESTIGATE SIMILAR PROBLEMS IN THE 16th DISTRICT. "I ALWAYS HAVE A GANG TEAM HERE," Price told residents. He added that the district's three tactical teams,each with ten officers and a sergeant assigned,only work in other districts during major events,such as the July 3rd fireworks show.
About a dozen incidents which resulted in police response near the aprk were reported from July1-25,07. Some generated multiple calls to the city's 911 communications center,according to district tactical lieutenant Joseph Shober. In addition about 1,300 calls for police service throughout the beat were reported during the same period.
The distric tis investigating the level of gang activity in the ara,but it is not clear whether gangs played a significant rold in any of the recent incidents which led to arrests near the park,police said.
The land is owned by the city, run by the park district, gifted to the memorial.
Good thing to hear about it being a felony count and high bond.
All in all, happy news.
It is indeed government property. It is Park District property, a government entity.
It has been set aside as a memorial but it remains government property.
SCC: are you advocating those be charged with a class a misd? fuck them, they should feel the wrath of the judicial system for desecrating a memorial to our fallen.
SCC: you have fallen to a new low. your cowardly comments make you sound like you work for charlie williams.
Who owns the land? If it were "Private Property," as you claim, it would be possible for the owner to sell it at any time. I do believe the Park District "allowed" the Memorial Foundation to build the Memorial on that set piece of land, as long as the Foundation assumed all building and maintenance costs.
Or have you seen a deed?
SCC: are you advocating those be charged with a class a misd?
Dear Ignorant Dumbfuck,
Where, for the love of god, do you see anything advocating a lowering of the charge? Where? Are you that fucking blind or just that fucking stupid?
fuck them, they should feel the wrath of the judicial system for desecrating a memorial to our fallen.
No shit sherlock. Boy, you're right on top of things.
SCC: you have fallen to a new low. your cowardly comments make you sound like you work for charlie williams.
Sorry, John Garrido already pointed out our new low. We can't have two new lows in a week. It just wouldn't be proper.
Listen up asshat - we were looking for INFORMATION. Did you read the last paragraph? We'll quote it again for your ignorant ass:
Government property? Can someone explain? We were under the impression it was private property.
We had understood the City had donated the space for the Memorial, thereby relieving themselves of the responsibility for paying any aspect of the Memorial. If it isn't government property anymore, the charge against the taggers is at risk of being thrown out of court.
If it is government property, then wouldn't that relieve the Memorial Fund of at least one line item in their budget? Maintenance of the grounds would become a Park District issue and whatever landscaping costs are associated with the Memorial could be redirected toward a little bit more than 0.5% of monies being Awards/Assistance. But of course, we wouldn't know what expenses are because no one is saying.
And we already work for Charlie in the Patrol Divisi...oops. we mean Bureau of Patrol. Come on over and help out.
The girl wasn't raped in 016. She was fondled, allegedly. A bottle gang of bust outs does not equal a gang problem. There is one loud mouth woman who lives near that playlot. She is a community activist. The majority of police calls come from her. Some of the district is slowly changing. It is a shame that gang teams are sent to 015. 016 has beats that are larger than the 015th district. Yes, sometimes it does take time to get to jobs. There are actually calls for service in 016. The 016th district is short many officers as well as most districts are. Blame city hall for lack of police in the neighborhoods, not the police themselves.

Dude,that is some funny shit...I could almost picture it too
Ortega lives in Rogers Park(024) and also frequents the 20th,23rd, and 19th Districts and has multiple arrests for "tagging."
...and at $50,000 for Ray, a tax auditor who is on special probation for a case involving possession of a controlled substance.
Is that anything like DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION?
There is only one way to get the word out to 016 residents. We cant go door to door becuase we would be hung by the political hacks. Everyone make up 500 copies and just toss them out the window late at night...its bound to get some attention.
Keep your kids close to home...Its daley and the alderjags that are getting big payoffs to let these section 8 mutts move here.
I hope I get to WIZ on daleys headstone some day!!
Start making your flyers....
Excellent job to POs Flis & Gonzales from the 024th gang team for picking up Ortega a day after the A/3 detectives FINALLY decided to share his name with us lowly POs (and only after the area couldn't manage to find them on their own).
Has anyone else noticed that tagging is back in again. It died out in the 90's but I am beginning to see that garbage all over the place again.
Hey SCC ,
As far as I'm concerned you run this Blog better tehn any other Blog i've ever read. You keep on doing what your doing and say "FUCK YOU " to all the nay sayers. Your doing just find . I can't get over all the time you must put into writing all this STUFF about everything that concerns or effects thit Dept.
You are the best.
God Bless you guys , gals or whatever.
big deal they got charged with a felony....like every other criminal in this city that commits a crime im sure it will get reduced to a misdemeanor at best and no serious punishment will be handed down by these liberal judges.maybe like at traffic court they will have them write a 500 word essay about why a shithead should not deface property.this city is a frickin joke and the court system is the worst in the country.i wish a was an illegal and could go hide out in a church living for free and making demands to the government about what i want.off topic but who is funding the bill for this convicted felon???where is the father of this kid ???just deport her ugly ass already and be done with it...thanks
What's with all of the seatbelt enforcement details that CPD seems to be having lately? I'm retired ISP and we had a commander who thought that seatbelt details were the answer to every problem we faced. Too many fatal crashes? We need more seatbelt details! Too many DUI's? We need more seatbelt details! Too many pursuits? We need more seatbelt details! Sheesh! No wonder he got the nickname "Captain Seatbelt". Too bad all of those seatbelt details didn't accomplish anything worthwhile or make a difference in our ability to answer our calls for service. I'm sure it's the same with CPD except on a much bigger scale. There is no seatbelt detail that can correct the problems caused by lack of manpower. The politicians are to blame. And lastly, be worried about your underfunded pension fund. We are in the same boat, and it doesn't look pretty.
OFF TOPIC BUT VERY IMPORTANT!!
RESIDENTS OF EVERYWHERE BETTER LOCK THERE DOORS--HOME INVASION 91ST AND HOYNE!! THANKS TO 22ND DISTRICT TACT PERSEVERANCE OFFENDER IN CUSTODY!! BE CAREFUL BOYS AND GIRLS--LOCK UR DOORS NO MATTER WHERE U LIVE--IT COULD HAVE BEEN REAL UGLY-- PS THE HOME INVADED WAS A COPPERS HOUSE! BE SAFE!
I assure you, if those jagoffs had defaced the Picasso sculpture at the Daley Center they would still be in the County. GOVERNMENT PROPERTY!!!!!!
Hey.. where can I get more info on Robert Ray? I arrested a person with the same name for tagging last year. If this is the same ass, he is a "real piece" and based on his history, I'd push for the felony based on cost. I was able to do it once before.
Otis
Ok... don't all yell at once! Look in ICLEAR. Yeah yeah yeah. Forget I said it... looking now.
Otis (outside agency)
Dudes... NO WAY!!! That Robert Ray is the same one I arrested. Not that I recommend looking up his history, but he has 35 arrests, mostly for Crim Dam. I had to chase that dude for almost 20 minutes until 1st Dist showed up. If anyone sees this jag, charge him with everything you can. He likes to skip court too!! 11th Dist Tact Team locked him upon a warrant at branch court. Screw this guy!! He's a theif and a scumbag.
Otis-

yes gov property. da g has seized the memorial/park
I was at the desk waiting for my partner when I started glancing through a neighborhood throwaway paper. I was amused/disgsuted when I read some lib idiot romanticizing a tagger, making all sorts of guesses about "her' motivation, how "she" dressed, "her' beauty. Tagging should be a felony, make these "rebels" earn their street cred.
