Car chase ends with gun arrest

A traffic stop over the weekend netted Kankakee County Sheriff’s Police a gun arrest. According to reports, an officer on patrol in Pembroke township just before 11 Sunday morning spotted a car coming toward him without a front license plate. As the deputy pulled in behind the car to pull it over, the driver allegedly came to a stop, then took off at a high rate of speed. At least two patrol cars chased the car, with the Camaro driving into the ditch at one point to avoid the police. The chase finally came to an end when deputies successfully boxed the car in, at which point the driver of the car, later identified as 29-year-old Sh’twan Jackson of Pembroke Township, allegedly took off on foot. After taking Jackson into custody  a search of the area reportedly turned up a handgun and magazine. Deputies arrested Jackson for aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and fleeing and eluding police among other charges.
