Illinois State Police says 23-year-old Tavoris I. Jackson, 29-year-old Anthony Harris, and 25-year-old Robert Ingram will all face multiple felonies.
Troopers with the ISP's Anti-Violence Enforcement Group first saw the previously reported stolen vehicle traveling near Pilsen on I-94 north using an Automated License Plate Reader.
