Oak Brook, IL – Three Cook County residents, including a 16-year-old boy, were arrested early Tuesday after allegedly stealing a car in Willowbrook and leading police on a high-speed chase that reached more than 100 miles per hour, authorities said.
According to the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office, the suspects — identified as Amarion Sutton, 19, of Maywood; Isaac Ramirez, 23, of Cicero; and an unnamed juvenile from Orland Hills — were taken into custody after a pursuit that began around 12:47 a.m. on November 18. The chase ended when Oak Brook police used a stinger tire deflation device on I-88 eastbound, forcing the vehicle to stop.
Officials said Sutton, the alleged driver, is charged with Aggravated Possession of a Stolen Motor Vehicle and Aggravated Fleeing and Eluding a Police Officer. He is being held without bond. Ramirez faces one count of Possession of a Stolen Motor Vehicle and was released with conditions. The juvenile faces charges including Unlawful Possession of a Firearm after police allegedly found a loaded Glock with an extended magazine discarded near the scene.
DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin commended Oak Brook officers for their swift actions, noting that “no one was injured as a result of the defendants’ alleged actions.” Oak Brook Police Chief Brian Strockis added that the case underscores the dangers of treating such incidents as “just property crimes,” emphasizing the public safety risk when stolen cars and illegal firearms are involved.
The defendants are scheduled to appear in court in early December. All remain presumed innocent until proven guilty.
