But Did They Keep the Car?
Sure, the City got their impound fees....:
A Missouri man who wore a police costume and allegedly brought a gun and a flamethrower to a Gage Park street takeover last year has been sentenced to probation.
Judge Carol Howard sentenced Emmanuel Wilson to 24 months of first-time weapon offender probation and 50 hours of community service after he pleaded guilty to aggravated unlawful use of a weapon in a vehicle.. She also barred him from participating in street takeovers and driving recklessly. If Wilson completes probation successfully, he will be eligible to have the conviction expunged from his record.
Wilson, of Columbia, Missouri, was arrested on November 3, 2024, after Chicago police responded to a donut-spinning street “takeover” in the 5600 block of South Kedzie around 2:44 a.m.
He was wearing a police costume when officers found him in his 2023 Dodge Charger Hellcat, which was outfitted with flashing police-style lights and a siren, officials said. Inside the car, police found a flamethrower, a loaded 9-millimeter handgun, a second firearm, fake license plates, and other props associated with takeover events, according to his arrest report.
....but confiscating a vehicle decked out to look like a squad car, along with the guns, weed, fake plates, etc would send a better message than a few hundred bucks in fines. Why don't the aldercreatures ever propose something like that?

Barred from street takeovers... isn't that illegal already? So the Judge is telling you specifically what laws not to break Must have a "D" after his name
So the judge said he can't drive recklessly or engage in street takeovers? Wow. Doesn't the law pretty much say that already in one form or another? J/O didn't care about the law, so he's going to give a fuck what the Judge says?
Unbelievable. Just crush the car into a cube, let the J/O see it happen and make him pay for it. Then put him in prison for 10 years - zero parole. And watch this nonsense come to a complete end.
“She also barred him from participating in street takeovers and driving recklessly.”
Wouldn’t everyone be barred from street takeovers as they are illegal? WTF!
Dude just shuckin and a jivin
Barred from participating in street takeovers and reckless driving?
Aren’t we all?
Probation??! wtf
wow, the judge "barred" him from ever doing street take over again,,,, that will show him and stop all others from future take overs
Send little police boy over to my house. He can do his 50 hours of community service cutting my grass with a pair of scissors. Thursday would be perfect, 96 degree high with a 110 heat index.
