Driver charged after leading police on chase exceeding 100 mph from Wisconsin to Illinois
A driver was charged after leading police on a pursuit from Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, to Illinois last month. Pleasant Prairie police shared the video of the June 28 incident, where an officer attempted a traffic stop for a stop sign violation. The driver fled and led officers on a pursuit that exceeded 100 mph and crossed into Illinois. Pleasant Prairie officers and assisting agencies made multiple attempts to deflate the tires. After two unsuccessful attempts, a final deployment ended the pursuit safely. According to police, the fleeing driver hit multiple squad cars during the incident. He was taken into custody without further incident. "Our officers are trained to make informed decisions in dynamic situations, always keeping public safety in mind. When necessary, we will coordinate across jurisdictions to ensure these incidents are brought to a safe conclusion," the department said. The driver was charged with felony fleeing/eluding, five counts of first-degree reckless endangering safety, hit and run, possession of cocaine and drug paraphernalia, and numerous other municipal citations. The Kenosha County Sheriff's Office, Zion Police Department, Lake County Sheriff's Office, Zion Fire-Rescue Department, and Wisconsin State Patrol assisted in the pursuit.

Zion man charged with robbing restaurant at knifepoint in Beach Park
A Zion man was arrested and charged in connection with an armed robbery in Beach Park last week. Lake County State's Attorney's Office charged Shane L. Lones, 41, with one count of armed robbery. On Thursday, at approximately 7:35 p.m., Lake County Sheriff's deputies responded to a fast-food restaurant in the 38900 block of North Lewis Road, Beach Park, for an armed robbery. Sheriff's deputies arrived and spoke to the two employees of the restaurant, who were not hurt. Deputies said a man entered the business wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, black pants, black shoes, and a surgical mask to cover his face. He produced a knife and demanded money. After stealing money from the cash register, he fled on foot. Surveillance footage caught Lones entering a vehicle and leaving the scene. Detectives used Flock cameras in the area to obtain additional information about the vehicle, including its license plate. On Friday afternoon, Zion police officers found Lones in a vehicle near his residence and arrested him. Sheriff's detectives obtained and executed search warrants for Lones' vehicle and apartment, where they recovered the clothing he wore during the robbery. The State's Attorney's Office petitioned to detain Lones while awaiting trial. On Saturday, a judge ordered Lones to be held pending a detention hearing scheduled for Tuesday.
