JOLIET — For the fourth time since April 2023, 22-year-old Crest Hill resident Deon King finds himself lodged in Will County’s Jail. This time, Crest Hill police helped Joliet police find the criminal suspect after authorities say King backed into his car into a Joliet police car and sped down a busy one-way street, Center Street, to avoid being captured.

After evading Joliet police, arrest reports show, Crest Hill police found King easily: back at his apartment unit in the 1700 block of Arbor Lane. On Thursday, King was booked into the Will County Jail around supper time on two charges of aggravated fleeing the police, two counts of aggravated assault, violation of pretrial conditions and resisting a peace officer.

The incident leading to King’s capture began just after 10 p.m. on Wednesday.
