CHICAGO — A man urinating in a Portage Park alley unwittingly helped lead police to a huge stash of marijuana this week, police said. It started when tactical officers with the Jefferson Park police district spotted a suspicious man in a Northwest Side alley just before 10 p.m. Tuesday. The man fled, and as police chased him, they spotted a man relieving himself in the alley. That man — referred to in a police report as "the urinator" — fled, too, and police chased him. During the pursuit, police ran by a garage with an open door in the 5900 block of West Patterson. Inside was a man putting marijuana into plastic bags, police said. After searching the garage, the adjacent home and a red Chevy Tahoe nearby, police found 100 pounds of pot with a $670,000 street value and $20,000 in cash, police said. Three men were arrested on drug charges, including "the urinator."
