Omar Castro, 22, of Riverview, Florida, appeared at a bond hearing Friday morning where DuPage County Judge Michael Reidy set bond at $100,000. Castro is charged with two counts of aggravated fleeing and eluding a police officer, a Class 4 Felony, and multiple misdemeanor and petty traffic offenses, including two counts of aggravated speeding in a construction zone, reckless driving and driving with a suspended driver’s license, all class A misdemeanors.The incident began about 8:28 p.m.
As the officer pursued, Castro allegedly reached speeds of 107 miles per hour in a 45 mph zone. Near 16th Street, Castro made a U-turn and continued north on Route 83, again at speeds of approximately 100 mph, including through a 35 mph construction zone where the pursuing officer lost sight of Castro.A short time later, the vehicle was found abandoned in a school parking lot. Officers responded to the area and soon took Castro into custody after a brief struggle about a block from the school.
“The type of behavior alleged against Mr. Castro is extremely dangerous and poses a threat not only to the driver, but also puts the police officers involved and motoring public at great risk,” Berlin said in a statement. “Thankfully, no innocent motorists or bystanders were injured or worse as a result of Mr. Castro’s alleged actions. Once again, I want to remind the public, if you hear sirens and see flashing lights behind you, pull over.
