Two people taken into custody following stop on southbound Hwy 45

 

April 26, 2017 – For the second time in less than a week deputies had to address subjects that were lawfully stopped on traffic stops and refused to exit their vehicles.

 

Tuesday evening at about 8 p.m., a vehicle involved in a retail theft was stopped on US 45 near Pleasant Valley Road. Numerous stolen items were in plain view inside the vehicle. The driver and passenger locked the doors and refused to exit.

 

Deputies took several precautions to keep the vehicle from fleeing and demanded the subjects exit. After repeated requests for compliance, the deputies forced entry to the passenger side rear window.

The driver, a 20-year-old Chicago man, and the passenger, a 20-year-old Chicago woman, were taken into custody on the local theft charges. The woman also had an extraditable arrest warrant out of IL for armed larceny.
