[]
Shaw Media Local
Two Cook County women are accused of aggravated fleeing and eluding after one fled police driving in excess of 104 mph while the other attempted to interfere with the patrol car involved in the chase, prosecutors said.
In addition, Valencia is charged with one count of concealing or aiding a fugitive, according to the release.
“What I find particularly alarming however, is the allegation that Ms. Valencia interfered with the officer during the pursuit and ultimately crashed into the officer’s squad car.”
“The Oak Brook Police Department will not tolerate this type of brazen and criminal conduct that endangers our officers and the public,” Oak Brook Chief of Police Brian Strockis said in the release.
Those who choose to endanger our community through their criminal actions will be pursued, arrested, and held fully accountable under the law.”
