LAKE FOREST, IL — The following information comes from the Lake Forest Police Department as a record of those arrested by police. Readers are reminded that an arrest is not an indication of guilt and criminal charges, which represent merely accusations by the state, are often dropped or reduced. All persons named are innocent unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

ARRESTS

Dylan R. Chavez, 18, of the 200 block of Annapolis Drive, Vernon Hills, was arrested Oct. 13 at 6:18 p.m. near the intersection of Route 41 and Deerpath Road. He was found to have an outstanding Lake County warrant for an electronic harassment charge and was also charged with driving under the influence.

Police said they pulled over a silver Honda that had been driving with no lights on. They identified Chavez as the registered owner and found his active arrest warrant. As police walked up to the Honda and the driver rolled down the window, officers smelled alcohol from inside the vehicle right away.

Police asked him to agree to a field sobriety test and he did. As a result of the test, officers determined Chavez was impaired and charged him with DUI. Police also searched Chavez and found a bag with less than 10 grams of marijuana in it, so he was issued a local ordinance citation for possession of cannabis and taken to the hospital to be tested for drugs. Chavez was released on a $3,000 bond ahead of a Nov. 17 court date in Waukegan.

Tyler B. Jackson, 27, of the 9000 block of Lamon Avenue in Skokie, was arrested Oct. 13 at 12:33 a.m. near the intersection of Route 41 and Deerpath Road and charged with street racing, speeding more than 35 mph over the limit and illegal control of cannabis.

Police said they saw two vehicles street racing at "an extreme high speed." One of them, a silver Chevy Tahoe, was recorded on radar driving at 100 mph in a 45 mph zone. They pulled over the lead car and spoke to the driver, identified as Jackson. While speaking with him, police said they smelled marijuana wafting from the SUV. He was taken out of the car, arrested for misdemeanor speeding and searched. Police said they found 17 small baggies containing 50 grams marijuana on him.

Jackson was charged with misdemeanor speeding and cannabis possession. He was released on a $2,000 bond ahead of a Nov. 7 court date.
