A Waukegan man was arrested after he led police in Wisconsin on a brief chase and crossed the state border before fleeing from his car at a gas station in Zion.
The Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin Police Department said one of their third shift officers was driving on Sheridan Road near 104th Street around 3:35 a.m. on September 5.
The officer narrowly avoided a rear-end collision by a reckless driver.
An attempted traffic stop was conducted but the driver of the vehicle refused to stop, police officials said.
A pursuit ensued but was terminated by the officer as the vehicle entered into Illinois from Wisconsin.
The officer relayed the vehicle information to surrounding police agencies.
Officers from the Zion Police Department were in the immediate area and located the vehicle almost instantly, police officials said.
Officers followed the vehicle, which pulled up to a gas pump at the 7-Eleven at Sheridan Road and Barnhart Court in Zion.
The driver fled on foot from the car and was taken into custody a short time later a few blocks away.
The 33-year-old Waukegan man is facing serious charges from both agencies, police officials said. Video of the pursuit was released on Thursday.
“We would like to compliment the strong working relationships we have with our neighboring agencies and the fantastic work done by all!” the Pleasant Prairie Police Department said.
