CRYSTAL LAKE, Ill. - Five people were arrested Monday in Crystal Lake after allegedly fleeing from police in a vehicle that had been stolen out of Wisconsin.
Zishawn Hunt, 19, was charged with felony possession of a stolen automobile and aggravated fleeing and eluding, in addition to a litany of misdemeanors, the McHenry County sheriff's office said.
Amil Little, Izerion Cooper and Maurice Dixon, also 19, were charged with resisting arrest, a Class A misdemeanor, as was a 15-year-old boy who was with them, the sheriff's office said.
According to the sheriff's office, sheriff's deputies tried to stop the 2015 Dodge Durango about 3:20 p.m. near the area of Route 14 and Manor Road after a license plate check revealed the vehicle had been stolen out of Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin.
