Shorewood Man Locked Up After Traffic Stop Dustup

A local man riding in a car pulled over for speeding bought a trip to jail when he got into it with a cop and dinged up the squad car that took him to the station house, said.

Alex Concannon, 21, of 855 Summit Creek Drive in , was taken into custody in the first minutes of Saturday morning during a traffic stop near the intersection of Route 59 and Center Court.

Concannon was a passenger in a car the cops pulled over. Police said the car was stopped for speeding and that the unidentified driver actually got away with just a written warning. But things did not go so easy for Concannon.

The young man was hit with charges of aggravated battery and resisting or obstructing a peace officer, as well as criminal damage to state-supported property after damaging the squad car he was put in by police, according to reports.

Concannon ended up in the Will County jail but the charges against him were reduced to misdemeanor battery, according to court records. He was released from jail the same day he was taken into custody after posting $500 bond, according to Sheriff's Office records.
