A high-speed pursuit was called off due to safety concerns after Bautista's vehicle allegedly reached speeds exceeding 82 mph in a 25 mph zone, the state's attorney's office said. Bautista also allegedly drove through two stop signs. Bautista turned himself into police later that evening, but was released from custody after posting the necessary bond."We have seen an alarming increase the past several months of motorists fleeing from police," said DuPage County State's Attorney Robert Berlin. "What is particularly upsetting in this case is that Mr. Bautista allegedly reached speeds of more than 80 mph in a residential area just steps from the West Chicago Park District and an elementary school.
"Thankfully, no innocent motorists or bystanders were injured or worse as a result of Mr. Bautista’s alleged actions. I urge everyone, if you hear sirens and see flashing lights behind you, pull over and cooperate with the police. Leading the police on a high-speed chase will only make matters worse."All the news you need to know, every day
