And Again
A 27-year-old man who escaped electronic monitoring earlier this year is now charged with trying to kill a Cook County Sheriff’s Police officer who tried to take him back into custody on the South Side, according to prosecutors.
Members of a fugitive apprehension team tracked down Antwan Ford on December 2, six months after he cut off his ankle monitor device and disappeared from his Ford Heights home, officials said. When officers located him near 74th Street and Colfax Avenue, Ford drove his black GMC Terrain directly at a task force officer, according to prosecutors. Ford allegedly pinned the 51-year-old officer between the SUV and a building, then continued driving. The injured officer was taken to the University of Chicago Hospital with injuries to both legs.
Ford is charged with attempted murder, aggravated battery of a peace officer, and leaving the scene of an accident involving injury. He is the 22nd person accused of shooting, killing, or trying to shoot or kill someone in Chicago this year while on felony pretrial release. Judge John Hock ordered him detained on the new charges.
Only 22 offenders? That appears to only count the people (or folks) who "escaped" E.M. If you add in all the SAFE-T Act offenders and the parole violators, it would be a bit higher.

So many prime predators on the move and so few predator hunters make my job a wait to chalk boring gauntlet to endure.

This happened December 2nd. Sooo...was he back on the street on December 3rd?
Why isn't this a felony????? The woman's name isn't Kim Fox. "Miller struck her in the face with a Potbelly cup filled with a milkshake near 175 North State Street."

Officer should have had his weapon out and used it on the suspect when he started toward him with his vehicle. Everyone has a BWC turn them on when you get to the scene. Fuck COPA and Fuck the store front "Reverends" Let them know the game has changed! You fuck around you loose!
Laws but no enforcement. "It's only his 22nd, 70th, 41st arrest" -gets old. Doesn't it?
That is one dangerous job.
why was the perp not immediately ventilated ???
Because root beer is a more dangerous weapon. That’s why it’s a felony.
Where did Antwan get a GMC Terrain? Or was it stolen?
Democrats say this is what I voted for.
Slow down there milkshake boy
If you get a shake with ground up Oreos or peanut butter that is a game changer
It belongs to a family member or someone else, I am guessing.
All the criminal yutes have better cars than I do ? What am I doing wrong ? Please advise.
You are not carjacking them.
