At around 2:38 p.m. on Saturday, two officers with the Park Ridge Police Department were transporting an inmate, who was wanted on a warrant, to the Lake County Jail. While on their way, the officers noticed the individual was"acting erratically" in the back seat and saw that he had slipped his handcuffs in front of him, according to police.
Officers attempted to detain the inmate, but he managed to break free, ran across the northbound lanes of traffic and then jumped over a concrete barrier, police said. While in the southbound lanes, he approached a Ford van that had stopped, physically forced the driver out of the vehicle, and then drove away with it.
Around a half hour later, the offender exited the van in the area of Lake Cook Road and Caribou Crossing, where he committed a second carjacking and physically forced the driver out of a Chevy Camaro, according to authorities. Police were able to locate the Camaro, using its OnStar location tracking, and discovered it was heading southbound on Interstate 94 in Kenosha County, Wisconsin. Authorities informed the Wisconsin State Patrol, which stopped the vehicle and took the offender into custody.
