Armed Robbery at Subway

A man robbed the cash register at Subway, 321 Harlem Ave. in Forest Park on Thanksgiving day. A Subway employee told police the offender ordered a sandwich and a drink around 12:30 p.m., then pulled a gun on the employee when he opened the cash register.

Police Use Taser on Man Who Was Stealing, Spilling Customers' Beers

Forest Park police used a taser on a Westchester man who caused a scene and slapped an officer outside Slainte Tavern, 7505 Madison St. around 1:30 a.m.

Police said two security doormen at the bar waved down police to remove Christopher Pagliuco, 27, who had been stealing and drinking other customers' beers at the bar. One of the doormen told police Pagliuco had also purposely tossed and spilled beer on the bar and other patrons. 

When police cleared Pagliuco to leave without arrest, he attempted to shake the officer's hand. When the officer declined the handshake, Pagliuco slapped him in the face, prompting the officer to use his taser, police said. 

He was charged with battery to a police officer and two counts of resisting and given a Jan. 14 court date.
