A West Chicago man has been charged with leading police on a high-speed chase Thursday night after failing to stop at a red light.
Christian Casimiro, 25, appeared in DuPage County bond court Friday on a felony charge of aggravated fleeing and eluding a police officer. He also has been charged with 20 misdemeanor and petty traffic violations.
The chase ensued after a West Chicago police officer saw a 2015 Jeep Wrangler fail to stop at a red light at Route 59 and Forest Avenue about 11:30 p.m. Thursday, prosecutors said.The driver of the Jeep, identified as Casimiro, began to slow down but then sped up and fled, prosecutors said. The driver then led the officer on a high-speed chase through a shopping mall, a residential area, over a grassy hill and into the Timber Lakes Apartment complex, prosecutors said.
Casimiro reached a dead end, got out of his SUV and fled on foot. Casimiro was taken into custody a short time later with the use of a police dog in a stairwell at the apartment complex.
