FLEE AND ELUDE

Curtis Juron, of Highland Park, is accused of fleeing and eluding police, having illegally tinted side windows, revoked, driver's license, and was arrested at 12:39 p.m. March 11, at Landwehr and Keystone roads.

Another Northbrook officer saw the vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed and could see it was a male driver and female passenger. Again, the vehicle fled from the officers.
