Two lovers wanted on outstanding warrants, including one for murder, were arrested after Illinois State Police officials stopped a car they were traveling in for a routine traffic stop, officials said today.
The traffic stop happened on Oct. 15 shortly after 1 a.m. on I-290 at Laramie Avenue, Illinois State Police said in a press release.
The men were in a 2004 Buick driven by a third man, Todd A. Sutton, 42, of Chicago, as it was traveling eastbound on the Eisenhower Expressway, police said.
An Illinois State Police Master Sergeant was on routine patrol when he noticed that the vehicle had an improperly displayed registration and pulled over the vehicle, police said.
After stopping the vehicle, police determined that Sutton was driving with a suspended license and the men in the vehicle were questioned and identified by police, officials said.
Police determined that Lane was wanted for murder and Moore was wanted for violating the conditions of his parole, authorities said.
Sutton, Lane and Moore were arrested. Lane and Moore are lodged at the Cook County Jail, officials said.
“Our streets and highways are safer today with the arrest of these offenders -- two offenders wanted for murder and parole violation,” said Illinois State Police Director Hiram Grau(Retired CPD Boss).
