PEORIA, Ill. – Peoria Police say a man is in custody on multiple charges for an incident where a squad car got damaged.
Police say the incident happened around midday Wednesday starting at Knoxville and Glen with an initial report of trouble with a male.

Peoria County State’s Attorney Jodi Hoos says she’s charging Walls with counts of Aggravated Assault, Criminal Damage to Government Supported Property, and Aggravated Fleeing and Eluding, and is jailed on $100,000 bond.
One driver suffered minor injuries. Police also say a gun was found in Walls’ car.
