Officers arrived and saw a suspect run from the business.
Officers from the Lee County Sheriff’s Office and the Illinois State Police joined in and set up a perimeter in the area. The Dixon Police Department brought in a K-9 which tracked the suspect to a vehicle parked on Lincoln Way. Officers spotted a person matching the suspect’s description lying down in the driver’s seat. Officers told the driver to exit the vehicle but the driver fled from the scene in the vehicle.
