Bond Set for Cook County Man Charged with Leading Police on 100 MPH High-Speed Chase

Defendant allegedly on probation out of Indiana for vehicle theft

DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin and Oak Brook Chief of Police Brian Strockis announced today that bond has been set for a Cook County man accused of leading police on a 100-mph high-speed chase.

Chevelle Carter, 31 (d.o.b. 2/18/1992) of the 12000 block of S. Ada, Calumet City, appeared at a bond hearing Sunday morning where Judge Anne Hayes set bond at $75,000 with 10% to apply.

Carter is charged with two counts of Aggravated Fleeing and Eluding (Class 3 Felony) and one count Attempting to Elude a Peace Officer (Class 4 Felony).        

On July 29, 2023, at approximately 7:24 p.m., an Oak Brook officer on patrol in the Oak Brook Mall parking lot observed three individuals repeatedly entering and exiting their vehicle and entering the mall.

A short time later, Oak Brook police received a call regarding multiple individuals acting suspiciously with credit cards that were repeatedly denied.

 

The officer then observed the same vehicle pull up near the Macy’s department store and pick up two individuals. The officer approached the vehicle in his squad car at which time the vehicle allegedly began to drive away, weaving in and out of the parking lot and striking a parked car causing minor injury to the car’s occupant.

The officer activated his emergency lights and attempted to pull the car over at which time the vehicle, allegedly driven by Carter, exited the mall, ignored a red traffic light and drove eastbound on 22nd Street.

It is alleged that Carter drove approximately 100 mph on 22nd Street to York Road where he again ignored a traffic control device and headed north on York Road, again reaching a speed of approximately 100 mph. It is further alleged that Carter then went eastbound on Roosevelt Road and that just prior to entering the I-290 ramp he came to a stop after driving over spike strips placed by another officer.

It is further alleged that Carter and two other unidentified individuals then fled the vehicle on foot. A short time later, officers took Carter into custody.

When officers searched the vehicle, they recovered one Smith and Wesson 9mm firearm and two Glock 9 mm firearms.

All three guns were loaded and the Smith and Wesson was reported stolen out of Indiana.

Through their investigation into the matter, authorities learned that Carter has a fugitive warrant out of Lake County, Indiana, for probation violation on vehicle theft charges. All three weapons recovered have been sent to the DuPage County Crime Lab for analysis.

“What I find extremely troubling about this recent epidemic of people fleeing from the police is that we had two cases this past weekend involving a defendant allegedly fleeing from police that caused injury to an innocent person,” Berlin said.

“We are all very thankful that the injury sustained by the innocent man in the parked car does not appear to be serious. This phenomenon of ignoring the police and putting innocent motorists in harm’s way must stop before someone gets killed. I urge all motorists, if you hear sirens and see flashing lights behind you, pull over. Not doing so will not only make matters worse, but also puts all those involved as well as innocent people at risk. Once again, I thank the Oak Brook Police Department for their continued efforts in keeping our retail establishment and roadways safe. I also thank Assistant State’s Attorneys Anna Derkacz and Grace Barsanti for their work on this case.”

“The Oak Brook Police Department is 100 percent committed to keeping our community safe,” Strockis said.

“Police pursuits are extremely dangerous but it’s also dangerous for criminals to believe that there are no consequences for their actions. If you come to Oak Brook to commit a crime, you will be caught, arrested, charged and prosecuted. Our detectives are working hard to identify the others involved in this incident and they will be brought to justice. I’d like to thank the Oak Brook officers that put their lives on the line daily keeping us safe. I’d also like to thank DuPage County State’s Attorney Bob Berlin and his team for their guidance on this case and for their work in holding criminals accountable.”       

Carter’s next court appearance is scheduled for August 28, 2023, for arraignment in front of Judge Mia McPherson. An investigation into the matter continues.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Sergeant Jason Wood with the Oak Brook Police Department at (630) 368-8750. 

Members of the public are reminded that this complaint contains only charges and is not proof of the defendant’s guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial in which it is the government’s burden to prove his or her guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
