CRYSTAL LAKE IL – The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office is investigating how a burglary suspect escaped police custody by smashing out a squad car window while handcuffed and then eluded authorities for more than 12 hours. James R. Henson, 44, was recaptured at Taser-point Thursday morning, authorities said. He faces a slew of charges stemming from the incident. His latest arrests come about seven months after he was acquitted of burglarizing a church – despite a can of Busch Light being found at the scene with his DNA on it. At about 5:54 p.m. Wednesday, Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a trespassing complaint in the 4000 block of Terra Cotta Road near Crystal Lake. The property owner had called police to report someone possibly trespassing in a barn. Henson was arrested and charged with criminal trespass to property, burglary, possession of burglary tools, and criminal damage to property. About 7:39 p.m., while sitting handcuffed in the back of a sheriff’s department squad car, Henson escaped by kicking out the rear driver’s-side window. This occurred in the area of Hillside Road and Walkup Road in Crystal Lake. About 9 p.m., the sheriff’s department sent an automated phone message to some Crystal Lake residents warning them that a white male in handcuffs had escaped. He was described as wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, white tennis shoes and a camouflage jacket. Henson remained missing throughout the night. Read More. |
