Officer Alfonso Sanchez was involved in a high-speed pursuit on January 7, 2024, despite orders to terminate the chase. The pursuit resulted in a collision that seriously injured two civilians. Investigations revealed that Sanchez did not possess a valid driver’s license at the time and had a history of unsafe driving, including prior traffic violations in 2020 and 2023. He received a 75-day unpaid suspension and was later served with a notice of termination in October 2024. Civil lawsuits have been filed against him and the city of Joliet by the injured parties.
