Charges pending against an Amboy man following motorcycle chase with Rochelle police

Charges are pending against an Amboy man following a high speed motorcycle chase with Rochelle police early yesterday morning. 21-year old Samuel Thompson eventually crashed the vehicle on Illinois 251 at Twombly Road in Hillcrest.

The chase with local police started on Route 38 near I-39 a short time before 1am. Thompson traveled eastbound on Route 38 and apparently did not stop at several traffic signals and stop signs.

The chase continued on Jones Road and onto Tilton Park Drive. Thompson eventually got on Illinois 251 before the crash in Hillcrest.

He then ran from the scene. With the assistance from the Rochelle K-9 unit, Thompson was apprehended a short time later near a home on Erickson Road.

He was transported by ambulance to Rochelle Community Hospital and later to a Rockford facility for treatment of his non-life threatening injuries.

The Ogle County State's Attorney's office is reviewing the report by Rochelle police before charges are filed against Thomas. He was driving on a suspended license.
