Robber Jumps Out of Window to Avoid Capture

One man tried desperately to escape U.S. Marshals that were trying to arrest him. He jumped out of a third-story window and instead of making a quick get-away, he was transported to a Chicago hospital with a broken hip. The suspect, 40-year-old A.M., is believed to have been involved in the robbery of a jewelry courier in DeWitt County. When he realized that the officers were in the building to arrest him, he attempted to jump out of the window. Now, he remains in the hospital and will be transported to a county jail when he is well enough to be discharged.

Police believe there are two more suspects involved in the robbery that have yet to be arrested. They also say a fourth person is already behind bars for her involvement in the theft crime. The robbers somehow coordinated a raid on the jewelry courier who was transporting over $750,000 worth of ornaments. As the courier stopped for gas, the robbers attacked.
