A Chicago man was arrested Sunday in downtown Evanston in connection with driving under the influence.

Around 3:30 p.m., the Evanston Police Department received a call about a disturbance at the intersection of Church Street and Sheridan Road, EPD spokesman Perry Polinski said. Officers arrived at the scene and saw an intoxicated man with two women, Polinski said.

The women told the officers they were driving the 24-year-old man back to his Chicago home, Polinski said. He said the police received another call later that day about a disturbance near the intersection of Davis Street and Chicago Avenue. The man had tried to exit the vehicle driven by one of the women while it was stopped at a traffic light.

Officers were sent to the scene but could not locate the vehicle, Polinski said. Later, EPD received a third call of a disturbance at 6:00 p.m. at the intersection of Church Street and Maple Avenue.

Officers at the scene learned the intoxicated man had gotten behind the wheel, Polinski said. The man put the vehicle in drive and exited the vehicle. The vehicle then rolled into a fire hydrant, but no one was injured, Polinski said.

The man was taken to the police station and charged with driving under the influence, Polinski said.
