Lake County Sheriff’s Deputies apprehended a fleeing offender, after he attempted to escape, leading deputies on a pursuit in a car and on foot.

A Lake County Sheriff’s Deputy about 9:40 p.m. Thursday, February 13, 2025 was in the area of Greenwood Avenue and Sheridan Road in Waukegan when he received an alert from a FLOCK license plate reader. The system flagged a Chevrolet Impala in the area that had been recently associated with a home invasion law enforcement alert.

Further investigation revealed that the vehicle’s registered owner, Alantae E. Cole, 35, of the 1200 block of Jackson Street, North Chicago, had multiple outstanding arrest warrants, including domestic battery, DUI, fleeing and eluding, violating an order of protection, and obstructing identification.




The deputy soon located the Chevrolet leaving a nearby gas station and identified Cole as the driver. When the deputy attempted a traffic stop, Cole refused to pull over and led deputies on a pursuit through multiple streets in Waukegan. He eventually turned from southbound Sheridan Road onto eastbound Keith Avenue, then onto Circle Court, where he reached a dead end. Cole then fled on foot but was quickly apprehended by sheriff’s deputies.

After reviewing the facts and circumstances of the case, the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office approved the following charges:

Two counts of aggravated fleeing to elude

Attempt possession of cocaine

DUI – Alcohol

Numerous traffic violations

Cole remains held in the Lake County Jail and is scheduled to appear Friday afternoon, February 14, 2025 for a detention hearing in Courtroom T121.

All defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
