Crazy Chicago Crime: A dead body, an escape attempt and an officer hit by suspect

Police were dealing with a lot of crazy connected to just one arrest: the suspect allegedly hit an officer with a car, then tried to escape, and on top of that, a dead body was found during the investigation.

CHICAGO - A traffic stop along Chicago's Dusable Lake Shore Drive turned into a very strange case Friday night.

Police said they tried to pull over a suspect, 23, near the Museum Campus. He was driving a car that was linked to another crime. 

The driver allegedly drove into a police officer during that traffic stop.

Police chased him to 72nd and Vincennes, where he ran into a house. That's where he was arrested.

But, strangely, police also found a body inside that house that had been there for some time.

When he was brought to the Area 3 police station, he tried to escape by climbing into the ceiling.

He was taken back into custody.
