Two Chicago men have been charged with burglary, aggravated fleeing, and eluding a police officer after leading police Wednesday, May 15 on a high-speed chase reaching 120 miles per hour.
DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin and Oak Brook Chief of Police Brian Strockis announced Thursday, May 16 that DuPage County Judge Joshua Dieden granted the State’s motion to deny pre-trial release for two suspects. When the officer began following the vehicle, a gold minivan, the driver, later identified as Moore, reportedly began driving into oncoming traffic near 39th Street and Glendenning Road. The officer immediately activated his emergency lights and sirens at which time Moore allegedly fled from the officer.
Pegue was taken into custody near the school after a brief foot pursuit. Moore reportedly fled into a nearby wooded area and was taken into custody a short time later after a homeowner called 9-1-1 to report that he was holding Moore at gunpoint after he discovered Moore hiding in his backyard while his nine-year-old child was playing. Moore reportedly fled back to the wooded area where authorities apprehended him.
“What I find particularly disturbing are the allegations that not only did the defendants flee on foot near a school while children were outside for recess, one of the defendants was caught in a residential backyard where a child was playing outside.”
