Charges are pending against four people arrested Tuesday afternoon during a funeral procession from Chicago to a cemetery in west suburban Hillside.
Forest Park police alerted authorities in Hillside about the rowdy procession as the group headed toward Oakridge Cemetery, 4301 Roosevelt Road, according to Hillside Police Chief Joseph Lukaszek.
The procession was total chaos, Lukaszek said. Passengers were hanging out of the vehicles windows and driving in and out of traffic as they headed toward the cemetery.
One of the vehicles in the procession was identified as having been involved in multiple shootings earlier Tuesday in Chicago, including one in front of a church, Lukaszek said.
Police stopped the vehicle with force at Mannheim and Harrison roads in Hillside after a passenger inside showed a weapon.
Lukaszek said he used his SUV to ram the vehicle in order to end a short pursuit. A foot chase followed, and three men and a woman all in their 20s were taken into custody and are awaiting charges.
Inside the vehicle, investigators found three handguns with high-capacity magazines and high-impact ammunition, Lukaszek said in a statement. Between the four taken into custody, they had been arrested more than 160 times.
Lukaszek said the shootings and general mayhem displayed during the funeral procession were believed to be gang related. Problems with funeral processions from Chicago occur on a nearly weekly basis in the suburbs, he said.

Heh. We all know within a 99.99999999999% probability of being correct.
NO! Where's my "Shocked Face" pic?
Ah. Here it is.
Chicago police notify suburban police when a rowdy procession is heading their way?
If they are out of control, can’t Chicago police act if traffic violations or other laws are broken? Instead they let suburban cops arrest them when they arrive in the suburban cops jurisdiction????
There must be something missing from this story.
I think I see the problem...
Ooh, lemme guess! Lemme guess! They weren’t Amish.
no police brutality protests from black lives (don’t) matter?
“Between the four taken into custody, they had been arrested more than 160 times.”
Trump voters, no doubt. ;)
“””Inside the vehicle, investigators found three handguns with high-capacity magazines and high-impact ammunition, Lukaszek said in a statement. Between the four taken into custody, they had been arrested more than 160 times.”””
What should Chicago expect when the catch and release these 4 hoodlums 160 times.
Frankly, we should be seeing more killings in Chicago.
“Between the four taken into custody, they had been arrested more than 160 times.”
And still running around loose with guns? Sure got a fine criminal justice system there Chicago democrats.
” The idea that these thugs should go back out on the streets after dozens and dozens of crimes is simply outrageous. “
They were turning their lives around. Like a top
It could be the case that the 160+ arrests resulted in fewer than 3 convictions per person.
These people just can’t function in civilized society.
Yup
It was Americans.
“Between the four taken into custody, they had been arrested more than 160 times.”
Oh, but just wait until they get to 200, THEN they’ve really gone too far! /sarcasm
“Well, it’s your funeral” takes on a whole new meaning...
