Ottawa Man with Long Criminal History Arrested after Chase

An Ottawa man can add running from the cops to his long criminal history after a chase through the city yesterday.

Robert Kidd appeared in court Thursday to learn about the charges against him. According to the prosecutor, the 32-year old Kidd led police on a chase that included going 80 miles-per-hour through a school zone and running multiple traffic lights.

The State then explained that, at the time of his arrest, Kidd had 17 prior arrests on his record, some of them felonies. He did plead guilty to misdemeanor battery in LaSalle County back in 2012.

Kidd’s bond was set at $50,000. He’s due back in court November 3^rd.
