Judge Stops Train to Catch Perp Who Tried to Flee Drug Test

TINLEY PARK, IL — A Will County judge on Friday encountered a perp who ducked out of a court hearing knowing he'd test positive for drugs, and hooked him right back where he started.

Judge Daniel Rozak issued a warrant for failure to appear. He then tracked down the train Calvin Jeffers, 39, of Chicago, would be taking home and ordered it stopped in Tinley Park. Jeffers, who was on probation for heroin-related charges, was met by police waiting to take him back into custody.

Tinley police arrested him and back to county he went, a source told Patch.

Jeffers' record includes a June 2014 arrest in Bolingbrook on a charge of manufacture/delivery of 15-100 grams of heroin. He was convicted in January 2015 for possession of heroin, according to court records. He is an admitted member of the Gangster Disciples street gang.

He was due in court Monday.
