Elgin teen charged in air horn incident

Ryan P. Owen, 19, of the 12N500 block of Jackson Drive, was charged with disorderly conduct Saturday morning after he blew an air horn in the face of a 46-year-old Burger King employee, Elgin police said.

At 2:50 a.m., the employee was working the drive-through window at the Burger King in the 200 block of South Randall Road when Owen, sitting in the passenger seat, sounded the horn in her face, reports said.

The woman had some burning to her eyes, flushed them with water but refused medical attention, police said.

Owen posted $75 cash bond and was released, pending a June 19 court date in Elgin.
