The 21 year-old man who escaped authorities while being transported to the Kane County Sheriff’s Department for incarceration a week ago has been apprehended.
The subject, Hugo R. Avila, was taken into custody Monday in Hanover Park at approximately 2:00 p.m. with the assistance of the Hanover Park Police Department.
Last Tuesday, Mr. Avila was in custody in relation to felony traffic-related offenses and was being transported to the Kane County Sheriff’s Office when he escaped from the vehicle carrying him.
Officers from the Elgin and St. Charles police departments, as well from the Kane County Sheriff’s Office, undertook a broad search for Mr. Avila in the area, but to no avail.
Police indicated that no further information will be forthcoming.
