2 Robbery Suspects Dead After Police Chase and Horrific Crash
A Tinley Park Arby's manager was thrown to the ground and robbed Friday morning. State Police, Chicago Police gave chase into West Pullman.


CHICAGO, IL — Two robbery suspects are dead after a crash that followed a strong-arm robbery at a Tinley Park Arby's and a police chase up the interstate into Chicago. Two other suspects and four police officers also were injured in the crash involving multiple vehicles Friday morning in West Pullman.

Tinley Park police were called to Arby's in Brookside Glen Marketplace at 191st and Harlem just before 11 a.m. after a store manager carrying a bank deposit was accosted in the parking lot. The suspects grabbed for the cash, and a struggle ensued. The manager was thrown to the ground, and the offenders made off with the cash. No weapon was displayed.




They then fled on I-80 and continued northbound on the Dan Ryan Expressway, with Illinois State Police on their tail. Chicago police officers were attempting to assist in the chase when the crash occurred at 124th Street and South Union Avenue.

A Chicago police squad car struck a house. The most serious injury to a police officer was a broken leg.


Two people inside the home escaped unscathed but were shaken.

"I thought somebody had bombed the house," Michael Wells, 71, told the Chicago Sun-Times as he stood in his yard. "I looked out the window and police was everywhere."

His wife had just parked their van. She said she saw the line of speeding cars and feared shooting would begin.

"I'm blessed. I could've been hurt. He could have hit the van, and I was pressed up against the van," Maxine Wells told the Sun-Times. "I was scared. Everything was flying and stuff."

Lawsuit filed in police chase and crash that killed 2 robbery suspects

February 3, 2017

The family of one of two robbery suspects killed when police collided with their fleeing car in July has filed a lawsuit against a Chicago police officer they say recklessly caused the man's death.

Ronald Arrington, 22, and Jimmy Malone, 26, died after leading state and city police on a high-speed chase that began with a robbery at an Arby’s in Tinley Park and ended with a Far South Side crash in a block of homes in Chicago's West Pullman neighborhood.

Two police officers and two others in the suspects' car also were injured in the July 1 crash.

Arrington's mother, Juanita Arrington, filed the lawsuit in Cook County on Wednesday against the city of Chicago and Officer Dean W. Ewing, alleging "willful and wanton negligence."

Ewing was driving an unmarked SUV that collided with the suspects' gold Grand Prix near 124th Street and Union Avenue while responding to the chase.

“Officer Ewing accelerated his vehicle to the point where he traveled 30 to 50 mph above the speed limit,’’ the suit states. Ewing’s SUV “rammed" the Grand Prix and caused it to “overturn in a burst of dust and smoke."

Ewing “engaged in willful and wanton negligence by speeding in a residential neighborhood, pursuing the car over an extended distance and time, creating an increased risk of danger to the public and passengers in the gold Grand Prix," the suit contends.

Ewing “failed to abandon’’ the chase when circumstances warranted termination, according to the lawsuit, which seeks unspecified dollar amount in damages.

Dashcam videos from several police cars captured the chase and crash.

The chase began on the off-ramp of Interstate 57 near 127th Street after a robbery at an Arby's, police said.

A video from a state police car shows a gold car stopped on an off-ramp of Interstate 57 near 127th. A trooper repeatedly yells, "Step out! Step out! Step out!" But the car makes a U-turn and speeds off through a motel parking lot.

The chase continues through at least one red light, down an alley, across a vacant lot, barely missing a parked van and then down a one-way street, where it collides with the police SUV in a burst of smoke and dust.

The car flips and the SUV spins. Both come to rest against a brick home at 124th Street and Union Avenue. A tire flies across the road.

"Oh sh--! Chicago, give me Fire!" a trooper yells into his radio as he pulls up to the scene. "CPD just got into a 10-50 with him! Get me Fire out here!" A 10-50 is a crash.

The officer swears and shouts, "Are you guys all right? Get me Fire out here! I got three of these guys I think! CPD is injured, but they're alive!"

In a dashcam video from another police car, two officers stumble out of the crashed SUV. One of them puts his head to the ground and rolls onto his back, his right hand clutching his forehead. The other lays on his back near the car and tries to sit up before lying down again.

At least one suspect is ordered onto the ground, and another is seen being handcuffed in the videos, which were released by the Independent Police Review Authority. Two other suspects, Arrington and Malone, were killed.

The suspects who survived — Michael Cokes, 26, of Alsip, and Isiah Stevenson, 24, of Matteson — were charged with robbery.

As of mid-October, Cokes and Stevenson both pleaded guilty to misdemeanor theft charges, according to the Will County clerk's website.

Autopsies determined Arrington and Malone, 26, of the 12400 block of South Union Avenue in Chicago, died of multiple injuries from a motor vehicle collision and their deaths were ruled accidents, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Two men charged with robbery that led to fatal Far South Side crash

CHICAGO (Sun-Times Media Wire) - Two men have been charged with a robbery in south suburban Tinley Park that led to a high-speed chase and crash that left two people dead and four Chicago Police officers injured Friday afternoon on the Far South Side.

Michael Cokes, 26, of Alsip; and Isiah Stevenson, 24, of Matteson, are each charged with one felony count of robbery, according to Tinley Park police.

It started just before 11 a.m. in the parking lot of an Arby’s restaurant at 191st and Harlem in Tinley Park, where the restaurant manager was robbed while leaving to make a bank deposit, according to Tinley Park Police Chief Steve Neubauer.

The suspects took off in a gold sedan, which Illinois State Police spotted on I-57 heading toward Chicago, Neubauer said.

Chicago Police joined the chase as it left the highway, and an unmarked police SUV slammed into the suspects’ car at the intersection of 124th and Union, police said.

Four Chicago Police officers in the SUV were injured. One hospitalized officer was released Saturday, and the other was released Sunday, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. The other two were treated at the scene.

Two people inside the car died after the crash.

Ronald Arrington, 22, was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he died at 12:39 p.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. He lived near the crash site in the 12400 block of South Union. Jimmy Malone, 26, was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 12:28 p.m., authorities said. His home address was unknown. Autopsies Saturday ruled their deaths accidental.

The two suspects who survived, Cokes and Stevenson, are each being held on $500,000 bonds at the Will County Jail.

And the families of the 2 dead suspects are suing over the chase.



Anybody peep how respectful (yet firm) the black cop was? Even told the suspect if he had a gun, he'd better not touch it.

On the flip side, the white cop shows up and immediately threatens innocent ppl "get of the street muthafucker".

I agree with everything you said. That poor old man who was walking should have never been spoken to that way. He was probably confused and startled. Fucking cop starts yelling at him like he’s his slave . Everything you said is right.
