A man broke a glass door and stole $300 in cash from a restaurant at about 4 a.m. Sunday, police said.

An employee at El Pueblito Mexican Grill No. 2, 1805 Howard St., reported to police at about 7:45 a.m. Sunday that the front glass door was broken, said Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan. The owner also reported that the cash was missing, Dugan said.

The suspect broke the front door with a large rock and stole the money directly after, according to surveillance tape reviewed by police.

Man arrested in connection with public intoxication

An Evanston resident was charged Sunday with public intoxication after he allegedly yelled at two men, police said.

One of the men said the suspect yelled and cursed at at him while he worked on his car, Dugan said. The men also said the suspect clenched his fists close to his face. When officers went to look for the suspect, he was allegedly pushing a different male subject, Dugan said.

The man who was pushed said the suspect was demanding money. The first man said he rents a parking space from the suspect, while the second man said he rents an apartment from him.

Police said the suspect had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and smelled of alcohol, and he interacted with police in an “agitated manner,” Dugan said.
