(Gurnee, IL) Two people were arrested and two police officers were injured after an arrest at Gurnee Mills. Authorities say they went to the mall on Saturday afternoon on reports of a stolen vehicle, which they found in a parking lot. Through surveillance video they were able to identify a pair of suspects, both of whom were discovered in a department store inside the mall. As officials attempted to take 38-year-old Lee Hernandez of Beach Park into custody, he fled, and a scuffle ensued that left one officer with a broken ankle and one with a lacerated hand. Hernandez was arrested and charged with reckless conduct and resisting a peace officer. The other suspect, 23-year-old Jasmyn Schiller of Silver Lake, Wisconsin, was arrested for possessing a stolen vehicle…she also had a warrant out of Wisconsin. Her bond was set at 1-million-dollars.
