ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP – A Sycamore man with a false license plate of “I WONT RUN” – who was charged twice in five months for driving more than 100 miles an hour – now faces having his 2015 blue Ford Mustang seized, according to police reports and court records.
Jordan G. Huntington, 20, of the 900 block of Buckingham Lane, Sycamore – formerly of 48W100 block of Milanmow Drive, Maple Park – was charged in January and May, records show.
The May 8 charge against Huntington was speeding more than 35 miles an hour over the limit in that he drove 101 miles an hour in a 55-mph zone; reckless driving in that he drove through Kaneville Township with a willful and wanton disregard for the safety of the passenger and himself; and that he possessed open marijuana in the passenger area of the vehicle, all misdemeanors, according to the charging documents. Huntington was released on a $2,000 personal recognizance bond.
Huntington drove a borrowed vehicle, not the Mustang, which resulted in the May 8 charges, according to a email from Sgt. Ryan Monaghan.
The Mustang currently is impounded pending a forfeiture petition, according to the email.
Huntington was charged Jan. 9 with felony aggravated fleeing a police officer while traveling at 110 miles an hour in a 55-mph zone in a 2015 blue Mustang; of concealing his real license plates with a false Texas license plate of I WONT RUN; crashing his vehicle and causing the secondary crash of two police vehicles with more than $300 in damage; and aggravated fleeing with disobeying two traffic control devices.
