A 52-year-old man with 106 arrests on his record was arrested again Tuesday afternoon, accused of robbing a disabled person in Uptown, Chicago police said.

Michael Woods, of the 900 block of West Wilson Avenue, has been charged with strong-arm robbery of a handicapped victim over 60, battery and resisting arrest, said Chicago Police Officer Darryl Baety.

The incident happened about 3:15 p.m. Tuesday in the 1000 block of West Lawrence Avenue, Baety said. Woods and an accomplice allegedly approached and tried to steal $60 the victim had in his hand. 

The victim fought off the would-be robbers and other witnesses intervened to restrain Woods, Baety said. The struggle was still going on when police arrived.

An officer ordered Woods to stop fighting, but Woods disobeyed and struck the officer several times, Baety said. He was soon arrested.

Records indicate Woods has been arrested 106 times for felonies, misdemeanors and other city ordinance violations. He has been convicted 18 times. This appears to be the first time he has been arrested in 2011.

Man to officer: You're arresting "God"

Pontiac man to Lake Orion police officer: You're arresting 'God'

A Pontiac man has been arrested on allegations of drunken driving after Lake Orion police say he was driving down the wrong side of the road and claimed to be God.

Kandy Sylester Jones, 35, was arraigned Monday in 52-3 District Court on charges of drunken driving and driving on a suspended license.

This was Jones’ third time being arrested for drunken driving and a second time he has been arrested for driving on a suspended license.

He is being held on a $5,000 cash bond.

The incident happened about 5:30 p.m. July 6 when a resident living on Smith Court, off Lapeer Road, called 911 about two men arguing and yelling profanities in an area where small children were playing.

An officer was dispatched to the scene and spoke with the manager of the rental units in the area.

The manager also heard the quarreling, police said.

The officer walked around the area and spotted two men matching the descriptions given by the caller, police said.

The men were on a pontoon boat docked at an address on Heights Road, just south of Smith Court and adjacent to the rental properties.

The officer drove to the address on Heights Road and approached the two men, who were drunk, police said.

Jones, who wasn’t wearing a shirt or shoes, told officers he was God and had spit and drool covering his chest, police said.

The second man wasn’t as drunk and explained to the officer Jones was visiting and had drank a large amount of alcohol, police said.

The officer warned the men to stop the fighting and swearing and watched as they went back to the rental units.

A few minutes later, the officer reported seeing Jones driving a silver car the wrong way on Heights Road, which is a one-way street, police said.

Jones pulled up next to the officer, parked the car and got out, police said.

The officer stopped Jones and had him go through sobriety tests, which he failed, police said.

A preliminary breath test showed his blood alcohol level to be 0.137 percent.

Jones, however, continued to insist he was fine, even though he couldn’t walk without falling, police said. Officials added that Jones told the officer he was arresting God.

He has an extensive criminal history dating back to 1994, with convictions for possession of controlled substances, police said.

Jones will be back before a judge July 14 for a pre-exam conference before 52-3 District Court Judge Lisa Asadoorian.

Mother provides alcohol to juveniles for babysitting

Police: Muncie mother provides alcohol to juveniles

A 15-year-old told officers Lindsey R. Jones gave her and her underage friends alcohol for baby-sitting Jones' children

MUNCIE -- A Muncie woman was jailed Thursday after police determined she had allegedly compensated teenagers for baby-sitting her kids by providing them with alcohol.

Lindsey R. Jones, 30, 2308 W. 10th St., is preliminarily charged with six counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, three counts of neglect of a dependent and possession of marijuana.

According to a probable cause affidavit, police were dispatched to Jones' 10th Street address about 12:40 a.m. Thursday after a neighbor called to report possibly intoxicated juveniles at a nearby residence.

When officers arrived, six juveniles admitted they were drinking at the house. One of the juveniles told police she was baby-sitting Jones' three children, ages 11, 7 and 3.

The girl said Jones "provided them with alcohol in exchange for baby-sitting her children," and that she had invited five friends over to drink with her. Child Protective Services representatives were called to the scene, where they removed Jones' three children from the house.

Jones was apprehended Friday morning after she appeared for a hearing at the Youth Opportunity Center. She was taken to the Delaware County jail, where officers located a bag in her possession reportedly containing marijuana.

Thursday's alleged incident is not the first time Jones has been accused of providing alcohol to a minor.

In 2009, Jones, then 28, was arrested after she allegedly punched a teenager she had been drinking with near her home.

In that case, police were called to Jones' residence after a 17-year-old boy said Jones had struck him in the jaw. Officers then located Jones' one-year-old son sleeping in a bedroom. He was placed in the custody of relatives by CPS.

Formal charges in that case are yet to be filed, according to court records.

In 2006, Jones, then of Elletsville, was convicted of driving while intoxicated in Johnson County. She also has convictions out of Monroe County for driving while intoxicated (2005) and criminal conversion (2004).

Jones was being held Sunday at the Delaware County jail under a $23,500 bond.
