Mom takes children on chase

20-year old Shelby Chalus of Ottawa took her two children on a ride Saturday – one that police don’t recommend. LaSalle County Sheriff’s office said deputies observed Chalus speeding and gave chase. Chalus was clocked at 100 mph during the brief chase. She was eventually stopped on North 27th road near Buffalo Rock State Park. Chalus was charged with two counts of speeding, having a suspended/revoked license, no insurance, two counts of endangering the life of a child and fleeing and attempting to elude police. Chalus went to the county jail. The two children were turned over to their father.
