A Chicago man who led a nearly ten-hour-long standoff in Algonquin that ended with a SWAT team tear-gassing him was ordered to pay a fine after pleading guilty.

The incident began around 10:53 a.m. on October 27 after the Algonquin Police Department was called to the Holiday Inn Express, 2595 Bunker Hill Drive in Algonquin, for a report of suspicious activity.

Algonquin Deputy Police Chief Ryan Markham said at the time that officers learned a guest of the hotel, identified as LaBurron Jackson, was wanted on a felony arrest warrant.

Officers attempted to contact Jackson but he refused to answer the door of his hotel room and indicated that he would resist officers’ attempts to take him into custody, Markham said.

Police did not know whether or not Jackson, 37, of Chicago, was armed.

Members of the Algonquin Police Department secured the scene and had Jackson contained to his hotel room, Markham said.

District 300 was notified due to the incident’s close proximity to Harry D. Jacobs High School.

The school district sent an email to parents saying that the school had entered a “shelter in place” as a precautionary measure.

McHenry County SWAT negotiators and social workers spoke with Jackson for several hours in an attempt to persuade him to surrender himself.

“When those negotiations resulted in Jacksonโ€™s repeated refusal to surrender himself, chemical irritants were deployed into the room by members of McHenry County SWAT,” Markham said.

Jackson was taken into custody around 8:12 p.m. that evening.

Markham said Jackson was wanted on a parole violation warrant for sexual exploitation of a minor.

Jackson was provided medical attention for his exposure to the chemical irritants and transported to the McHenry County Jail.

No members of the public or law enforcement were injured.

Jackson was charged with resisting a peace officer, a Class A misdemeanor.

Jackson was held in the jail for 163 days until he posted 10% of his $1,500 bond in April, court records show.

Last week, Jackson pleaded guilty to his charge and was sentenced to 326 days in jail to be served at 50%, which is 163 days โ€” the number of days Jackson already served.

McHenry County Judge Tiffany Davis also ordered Jackson to pay $704 in court fines and fees.
