The Taylorville Police Department says a man who led officers on a Christmas Day chase last year is headed to prison.

Police say Aaron Steele of Taylorville was arrested after crashing his car, hitting a street sign and a parked vehicle, then running from the scene—leaving behind one of his shoes. Officers later found Steele wearing only one shoe and took him into custody.

He was charged with possession of a firearm by a felon and has now been sentenced to six years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.

Taylorville Police thanked the Christian County State’s Attorney’s Office for helping secure the plea deal and say they’re glad to have removed another firearm from the community.
