A 31-year-old woman was arrested Wednesday morning in connection with spitting on police after officers approached her at the Chicago Transit Authority station in downtown Evanston.

Police said the woman was verbally abusing people at the Davis Street CTA station at about 11 a.m., Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan said. When police approached the woman after she left the station, the woman began yelling at them and spit at an officer, Dugan said.

A CTA employee told police the woman had been previously kicked out of the station for making a disturbance and stealing from the station’s Dunkin’ Donuts.

The woman was charged with a misdemeanor for battery. She is scheduled to appear in court Dec. 10.

Man caught on camera stealing several bottles of liquor

An unidentified man was caught on video surveillance stealing about $240 worth of alcohol Tuesday evening.

A 30-year-old security guard at the Jewel-Osco in the 2400 block of Howard Street saw the man place six bottles of Jagermeister into his shopping cart, cover them with paper towels and leave without paying, Dugan said. The security guard noticed this theft about three hours later, at about 8:20 p.m. while reviewing the surveillance video for the liquor department.
