PEORIA, Ill. – Police arrested a man Friday morning after he allegedly kicked in the door of a Peoria home, stole the victim’s vehicle, and led officers on a chase.
PPD Spokesperson Semone Roth says police responded just before 7:30 a.m. Friday to SW Martin Drive on reports of a home invasion.
A short time later, with the assistance of a License Plate Reader, officers found the stolen vehicle on W. Hansler, but as they approached the vehicle, it sped off at a high rate of speed.
Officers did not pursue the suspect who eventually was identified as 33-year-old Ishmiel Gates.
Gates lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a home on W. Wilcox. He then fled the scene on foot. No one inside the home was injured.
Gates was apprehended near the Gale WB ramp of I-74. He was arrested for resisting police, home invasion, domestic battery, criminal damage to property, unlawful possession of a stolen motor vehicle, burglary, aggravated fleeing, reckless driving, and traffic violations.
Gates was taken to the Peoria County Jail.
