3 charged after police chase that ends when squad car runs stolen vehicle off the road in Algonquin: police

Three people have been charged after a police pursuit that ended in a crash in Algonquin, the Lake in the Hills Police Department announced Thursday.

Police said they found a black Acura SUV on Sunday evening with a “ROUTE 66″ license plate that was identified as stolen and suspected to be recently involved in criminal activity. The Acura was driven by a person with multiple warrants and was “considered to be armed and dangerous,” police said in an emailed statement.

Officers tried to stop the Acura at Hilltop Drive and Crystal Lake Road, but the car fled south on Crystal Lake Road, and officers pursued. While traveling east on Algonquin Road east of Pyott Road in Algonquin, the lead squad car performed a “precision immobilization technique” to direct the Acura off the road, authorities said.

“The SUV went off the roadway and, while doing so, struck a light pole, causing damage to the light pole,” police said.

The driver and two passengers were treated for possible injuries and taken to the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office after being released from the hospital.

Police identified the driver as Jordon Carmody, 29, of the 100 block of Sunset Drive, Cary. Authorities said he was charged with possession of a stolen vehicle, aggravated fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer with a previous conviction, possession of less than 15 grams of cocaine, possession of less than 15 parts of LSD, unauthorized possession of a license plate, resisting a police officer causing injury, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving on a revoked license and reckless driving.

Also charged in the incident, police said, was David A. Bastidas, 32, of the 300 block of Dean Street, Woodstock, who is accused of possession of less than 15 grams of cocaine, possession of drug paraphernalia and obstructing identification.

Krystina M. Ziebell, 33, of the 6700 block of Waterford Drive, McHenry, was charged with possession of less than 5 grams of methamphetamine, possession of less than 15 grams of cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia, Lake in the Hills police said.
