The Illinois State Police (ISP) Division of Criminal Investigation Zone 2 is currently probing a non-fatal shooting incident in Savanna, following a request from the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office.
Reports indicate that 59-year-old Mark Feltmeyer, residing in Freeport, IL, was apprehended today. He is facing a series of charges, including Possession of a Stolen Motor Vehicle, Criminal Damage to Government Supported Property, Aggravated Fleeing and Attempting to Elude a Peace Officer, along with Resisting or Obstructing a Police Officer.
This sequence of events commenced on June 25, 2025, when officers from the Freeport Police Department responded to a report of a suspected stolen vehicle. Upon locating the vehicle, they attempted a traffic stop, but the driver fled, initiating a pursuit that extended into the early hours of June 26, 2025, with the involvement of numerous law enforcement agencies.
During his arrest, Feltmeyer reportedly resisted, leading to damage to police vehicles and officers discharging their firearms. He sustained injuries from gunfire and was transported to a hospital; he has since been released and is now in custody at the Stephenson County Jail.
The investigation remains active, with the ISP preparing to present evidence and facts to the Carroll County State’s Attorney’s Office for further review. It’s important to note that Feltmeyer is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Currently, Feltmeyer remains in custody facing multiple charges, including both felonies and misdemeanors. The legal proceedings will continue in accordance with the law, with the final outcomes to be determined by the judicial system.
