What’s wrong, champ? Doorman won’t let ya in da club?
Just zap him with your handy Guard Dog Security iStun 4000. That’s what a Lower West Side man did in River North last week, according to prosecutors.
Around 10 p.m. last Thursday, a bouncer told Omar Hernandez that he was not allowed inside Rockit Bar, 22 West Hubbard.
Hernandez proceeded to press a stun gun to the doorman’s chin and push the “ZAP!” button “in an effort to gain entry,” police were told.

Rockit Bar staff detained the 30-year-old and turned him (and his Guard Dog Security iStun 4000) over to police, court records say.
The 25-year-old doorman declined medical assistance and was not seriously injured.
Hernandez, on the other hand, was not so lucky. He was transported to Northwestern Memorial Medical center for treatment of “incident-related injuries,” police said.
He is charged with unlawful use of a weapon and battery.

| Weekly | Cook County Sheriff |
Shoplifting arrest reports are among the more boring documents you’ll ever read. Except on those occasions when the defendant is accused of selecting something unusual to steal.
Take Mario Weekly. The 34-year-old was arrested at the State Street Target store on November 24. Store security says he tried to leave without paying for $1,411 worth of Mucinex. That’s quite a haul. An average package of the cold and cough medicine retails for $11 to $21, according to Target’s website.
Making things a little thornier for Weekly: He was found to be in possession of “a large bundle of mail” addressed to occupants of a nearby highrise.
Weekly, who has a long history of theft arrests, is charged with felony retail theft and theft of lost or mislaid property. His bail is set at $50,000.
