On 10/16/2017 at 1539 hours, a trooper traveling on Route 50 stopped a vehicle that was following his patrol vehicle too closely. Upon contact with the driver, it was learned the driver had an active arrest warrant for several sexual assault crimes in Lincolnshire, Illinois. The crimes were committed while the suspect worked as a nursing assistant at a residential home for people with disabilities. The warrant was still active and the suspect was taken into custody and is currently being held in the Wicomico County Detention Center awaiting extradition back to Illinois. Detectives for the Lincolnshire Police Department were contacted and flew to Salisbury to interview the suspect.
