A 28-year-old man was arrested Monday night in connection with an assault.

A female CTA employee attempted to diffuse a situation in which the man and another individual were arguing at the Davis Street CTA station in the 1600 block of Benson Avenue on Nov. 9, when the man became aggressive and threatened to kill the employee, said Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan.

The man was charged with a misdemeanor for simple assault. He is scheduled to appear in court Dec. 24.

Unknown man attempts theft from Walgreens

An unidentified man was seen stealing a bottle of Jack Daniel’s whiskey from a Walgreens Thursday afternoon.

The 36-year-old store manager of the Walgreens, located in the 600 block of Chicago Avenue, observed the man place a bottle of Jack Daniels, valued at about $32, in his pocket and walk out without paying on Nov. 5 at about 12:30 p.m., Dugan said.

The man was unlocking his bike outside when the manager confronted him, Dugan said. The manager told police he retrieved the stolen bottle, but the man fled and left his bike behind. Officers inventoried the bike, Dugan said.
