Jaquan Bush, who has six prior juvenile cases, was out on bond for an adult charge of possessing a stolen motor vehicle when he entered a Champs store in the city’s expensive Loop neighborhood on September 17, CWB Chicago
reported.
Prosecutors alleged Bush grabbed a Nike jacket off a display rack and rushed for the door. He was confronted by the store manager, who believed he recognized Bush from a previous robbery, and a struggle ensued.
Bush then allegedly pulled out a knife, “lunged” at a female employee, snatched the jacket from her hands as she attempted to pull it away from him, and escaped.
While police were still investigating the robbery, Bush managed to land himself yet another felony case. He was arrested for possessing a firearm when cops responding to gunfire and reports of a person shot “said they saw Bush walking down a street with one side of his hoodie weighted down,” the local outlet reported.
Bush attempted to run away and led officers on a chase into his backyard, where they discovered that he had ditched the gun under the porch, police said.
Officers also reported having to call for backup when Bush’s “irate” family members surrounded the cops.
