- 0:14Speaker 1: voice brought to you by Everlett. A deputy tried to
- 0:18Speaker 1: halt a vehicle early Wednesday, but the driver hit the gas.
- 0:22Speaker 1: The chase hit one hundred and twenty six miles per hour.
- 0:25Speaker 1: Police used stop sticks to halt the vehicle, but the
- 0:28Speaker 1: driver fled on foot. Caden Danley was apprehended and charged
- 0:32Speaker 1: with aggravated fleeing and eluding. He could go to prison
- 0:36Speaker 1: for three years if convicted. Allegedly running from the cops
- 0:39Speaker 1: landed him in LaSalle County jail as well. Danley, nineteen,
- 0:43Speaker 1: of Streeter, previously listed in Mendota, was ordered detained Thursday
- 0:48Speaker 1: in LaSalle County Circuit Court. He had been out of
- 0:51Speaker 1: custody and on GPS monitoring since September when he was
- 0:54Speaker 1: charged with home invasion. Thursday, he and his lawyer asked
- 0:59Speaker 1: for another shot at pre trial release. Danley's judge said no.
- 1:02Speaker 1: While Danley awaits trial for home invasion, new trial date
- 1:06Speaker 1: October fifth. Police still were as of midday Thursday, looking
- 1:10Speaker 1: for another occupant from the high speed pursuit. Details of
- 1:13Speaker 1: the chase still are emerging, but prosecutor Matt Kidder said
- 1:17Speaker 1: Thursday in open court that sheriff's deputies were looking for
- 1:21Speaker 1: a stolen car out of Ottawa when around five thirty
- 1:23Speaker 1: am Wednesday, a LaSalle County Sheriff's deputy spotted a make
- 1:27Speaker 1: and model similar to the unit reported stolen. The vehicle
- 1:31Speaker 1: the deputy spotted wasn't stolen, but the driver wouldn't pull over.
- 1:35Speaker 1: A chase ensued across southern LaSalle County and ended only
- 1:39Speaker 1: after police deployed stopsticks that forced the now disabled vehicle
- 1:42Speaker 1: into a cornfield. Two occupants fled, Kitder said, and a
- 1:46Speaker 1: woman and baby were found inside. Both were okay. The
- 1:50Speaker 1: woman told police it was Danley who was driving. She
- 1:53Speaker 1: said she pleaded for Danley to stop the car, and
- 1:56Speaker 1: a search of the vehicle also turned up a loaded gun.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Charged with unlawfully possessing the gun too. Danley racked up
- 2:04Speaker 1: five new charges, including three new felonies, as a result
- 2:07Speaker 1: of the chase. His controlling charges remained two counts of
- 2:10Speaker 1: home invasion, both incurred September twenty sixth, after he is
- 2:14Speaker 1: alleged to have entered a residence and then struck an
- 2:17Speaker 1: occupant with a fist and with a staple gun. Danley
- 2:21Speaker 1: would face six to thirty years with no possibility of
- 2:23Speaker 1: probation if convicted of home invasion
