Two Chicago men are in jail after they lead Danville and Rossville police on a vehicle chase. Thursday night Rossville police requested help from Danville police after pursuing a vehicle due to felony charges on Illinois Route 1 into the north part of Danville.
Deputy Chief Terry McCord said the vehicle continued into the city limits through Danville avoiding attempts made by Danville officers to utilize tire deflation devices. The pursuit ended on the west side of Danville near Harrison Park. Two subjects fled on foot but were ultimately caught by Danville police and Vermilion County Sheriff’s deputies. During the foot pursuit officers recovered two firearms.
25 year old Malik E Brown and 23 year old David Cox, both from Chicago, face charges of Possession of a stolen vehicle, Aggravated Fleeing and Eluding, and Aggravated Unlawful Use of a Weapon, along with other charges. This is an ongoing investigation, and no other information is being released.
