A 31-year-old Mundelein man on parole in connection with a 2019 shooting outside a school faces new felony weapons charges after authorities say he fled from police while armed with a handgun early Sunday.
Ricardo Perez, of the 400 block of Hickory Street, is charged with unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, two counts of aggravated unlawful possession of a firearm and resisting arrest, Lake County sheriff's police said.
More deputies arrived, including Deputy John Forlenza and canine Dax, who began to track Perez. Dax first located a firearm it's believed Perez discarded in a bush on the north side of the motel, then located Perez hiding behind a trash container in a nearby parking lot, sheriff's police said. Perez refused to surrender, and Dax took him into custody by biting his arm, according to the sheriff's office.
