SAVANNA — The Illinois State Police (ISP) Division of Criminal Investigation Zone 2 continues its investigation into a non-fatal shooting in Savanna at the request of the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office. On July 1, the suspect involved in the non-fatal shooting, 59-year-old Mark Feltmeyer of Freeport was taken into custody. Feltmeyer was charged with Possession of a Stolen Motor Vehicle (Class 2 Felony), three counts of Criminal Damage to Government Supported Property (Class 3 Felony), Criminal Damage to Property (Class 3 Felony), Aggravated Fleeing and Attempting to Elude a Peace Officer (Class 4 Felony), two counts of Aggravated Assault — Peace Officer (Class 4 Felony), Driving While License Suspended (Class A Misdemeanor) and two counts of Resisting or Obstructing a Police Officer (Class A Misdemeanor) by the Carroll County State’s Attorney.

On June 25, around 10:19 p.m., Freeport Police Department officers responded to a report of a suspected stolen vehicle. Officers located the vehicle and attempted a traffic stop, but the vehicle fled. Later that evening, Jo Daviess County Sheriff’s Office deputies located the vehicle in Hanover and officers engaged in a short pursuit, but the vehicle fled a second time. The vehicle was located again near Savanna around 3:40 a.m. on June 26 and officers and deputies from the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, Mount Carroll Police Department, and the Savanna Police Department engaged in a pursuit. Feltmeyer came to a stop near the intersection of Webster and Main Street where officers on scene attempted to place Feltmeyer in custody. Feltmeyer resisted arrest, which resulted in squad car damage, officers discharging their weapons, and Feltmeyer being struck by gunfire. The pursuit continued, but later ended near the intersection of Chicago Avenue and Gilbert Street. Feltmeyer was transported to an area hospital, but has since been released and is now in custody at the Stephenson County jail.     

This investigation into the shooting is open and ongoing. When complete, ISP will submit all evidence and facts for review to the Carroll County State’s Attorney’s Office. No additional information is available at this time.
