Apparently the chief of police in Joliet IL goes by the surname of Jungles. It’s a jungle out there. Perp may have had no connections to mexico, or otherwise, but might have reasoned that nobody would be guarding the border in that direction either? I would imagine it’s harder to get into mexico than out of mexico these days.
"Nance's prior arrest records indicated that he was previously arrested for aggravated discharge of a weapon involving a woman. Court records indicate Nance was out on bond in connection with that 2023 shooting case and was still awaiting trial."
Ha! I wonder what would happen if I went to Mexico thru a port of entry then circled around to cross the Rio Grand into the arms of Border Patrol and showed them my U.S. passport.
Would they:
Wave me thru? Arrest me? Send me back?
I'm betting they would make it a hassle in any case.
