A parolee who was being arrested Monday afternoon fled in a car that crashed into an Illinois Department of Corrections parole agent’s vehicle, an IDOC spokeswoman said.
Harron Raggs, 24, arrived at the parole office at 1100 S. Oakley Blvd. in Chicago's Tri-Taylor neighborhood when an agent told him there was a warrant for his arrest, the spokeswoman said.
While the parole agent started to arrest Raggs, he fled and got into a car that hit the IDOC vehicle and kept going.
No IDOC staff were injured in the escape or crash.
The IDOC Apprehension Unit and US Marshalls continue searching for Raggs who is described as being 5 feet, 9 inches tall, weighing about 160 pounds with brown eyes.
Authorities ask anyone with information on Raggs' whereabouts to contact police.
