Danville Police were holding three suspects today (Thursday, November 21, 2019) in connection with a case involving shots fired and a chase which occurred late Wednesday night. Several departments were involved in the chase after the vehicle left Danville and traveled westbound on Interstate 74. It was finally stopped near Oakwood.
Those in custody include a 41-year-old female from Mansfield, Illinois, and two males – ages 28 and 41. They are both from Urbana.
All three were in custody at the Public Safety Building in Danville on preliminary charges of reckless discharge of a firearm. The female and 28-year-old male were also being held on preliminary charges of possession of controlled substances. It will be up to the Vermilion County State’s Attorney to decide whether formal charges will be filed in the case.
Danville Police say there was no weapon found in their possession or vehicle, however a gun was found along the interstate. And no one was shot.
