EVANSTON, Ill. - A 37-year-old Chicago man was arrested, charged and released from custody after Evanston police allegedly found him in possession of a "ghost gun" – but that's not all.

On April 1, 2023, just after midnight, Evanston officers who were patrolling in the 1500 block of Ridge Avenue pulled over a red Nissan for driving without its headlights on.

While officers were checking Terrance Hogan's driver's license, Hogan allegedly fled from his vehicle and officers pursued him.
