A Chicago man who led authorities on a high speed chase in a stolen vehicle on the Eisenhower Expressway in 2021 has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.
The driver, later identified as Robinson, exited the expressway on the southbound I-294 ramp to westbound Ogden Avenue in DuPage County, where he drove into oncoming traffic and disobeyed a red light at Oak Street.Robinson turned on southbound Oak Street, where he blew through a stop sign before fleeing the vehicle at Fuller Road, the statement said.
As he fled, Robinson ran through a residential area before he was taken into custody by police in a detached garage on Oak Street. Authorities recovered a loaded Beretta 9mm pistol with a bullet in the chamber that Robinson disposed of in a backyard as he ran from police. "With a complete disregard for public safety and in a stolen vehicle, Mr. Robinson led police on a high-speed chase in the middle of the afternoon just blocks from a grammar school," Berlin said. "To compound matters, in an attempt to avoid capture, Mr. Robinson fled on foot, running from the police through a residential neighborhood with a loaded weapon, again in the middle of the afternoon.
On Friday morning, Robinson appeared in court again where he was sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty to a felony charge of unlawful possession of contraband in a penal institution.
