An Orland Park man who apparently has trouble keeping his mouth shut remained in the Cook County Jail this week under $300,000 bail for three separate incidents.
Yacub Ibrahim, 32, 17505 Brook Crossing Drive, is accused of making a false 911 call and intimidating a witness Tuesday and Sunday, respectively, police said.
Ibrahim’s troubles this week are in addition to a Jan. 30 incident when he shouted profanities and made threats inside a Jewel Express, 17940 Wolf Road, police said.
On Tuesday, Ibrahim called 911 and reported a robbery outside of Barracco’s Pizza, 18040 Wolf Road, police said.
He told police he saw a man in a ski mask approach a woman as she exited the pizzeria, grab her purse and flee toward the nearby Jewel-Osco store.
Police said they investigated and could not find the victim or the robber, resulting in Ibrahim being charged with disorderly conduct for making a false 911 call.
“We take this very seriously,” police Cmdr. John Keating said. “And we’ll prosecute accordingly.”
Ibrahim also was charged with unlawful communication with a witness after he threatened to harm a witness Sunday at the Jewel Express store, police said.
They said he “threatened bodily harm” to anyone who testified against him in court Feb. 19 about the Jan. 30 incident, in which he was charged with aggravated assault, criminal trespass to property, disorderly conduct and resisting police.
Police said Ibrahim began bothering customers and employees at Jewel Express on Jan. 30 and refused to leave. Eventually, he did leave, but he returned about a half-hour later and screamed profanities at customers and staff, according to police.
They said that when officers arrived, Ibrahim resisted arrest and threatened to shoot police.
Besides the Feb. 19 court hearing, Ibrahim is scheduled to appear in court March 2 on the most recent charges, police said.
