Suspect in custody after trying to bring gun into McHenry County Courthouse before running from officers
A suspect is in custody after attempting to bring a gun into the McHenry County Courthouse in Woodstock on Monday afternoon. The incident occurred around 3:58 p.m. when court security officers stopped a person carrying a suspected weapon at the west entrance of the Michael J. Sullivan Judicial Center.
The individual fled on foot, leading to a brief foot pursuit, during which he managed to grab the bag containing the gun. Authorities later apprehended the suspect south of the courthouse near the McHenry County Treasurer’s Office, and the weapon was recovered shortly after. The sheriff’s office indicated there is no ongoing threat to the public and commended the swift actions of the court security officers. The suspect has not yet been identified, and potential charges remain undisclosed.
