Rosa Gutierrez, 31, of the 5000 block of South Hoyne Avenue, was charged Saturday one count each of felony aggravated battery to a police officer, felony possession of a controlled substance, felony aggravated fleeing an accident with bodily injury, misdemeanor driving under the influence and misdemeanor resisting\/obstructing a peace officer, according to a police statement.<\/p>\n
Officers responded about midnight to a report of shots fired near South Kedzie Avenue and West 60th Street and saw a vehicle matching the description of a dispatch report fleeing the scene, police News Affairs Sgt. Antoinette Ursitti said.<\/p>\n
The officers activated their emergency equipment and attempted to curb the vehicle, but the motorist — identified in the statement as Gutierrez — refused to stop and committed multiple traffic violations in an attempt to elude police, Ursitti said.<\/p>\n
The vehicle eventually crashed into a residential garage in the 4100 block of West Marquette Avenue at 12:07 p.m., police said. When officers approached, Gutierrez allegedly reversed the vehicle into an officer, prompting another officer to fire shots at Gutierrez, police said.<\/p>\n
The motorist was not struck by the police gunfire, and a Taser was then deployed when the motorist resisted arrest, Ursitti said.<\/p>\n
Gutierrez and the officer were both taken to local hospitals, where they were treated and released, police said.<\/p>\n
Gutierrez was also ticketed for failing to stop at a stop sign, disobeying a red light, driving the wrong way on a one way street, driving on a suspended license, operating a vehicle without insurance and driving 15 to 20 miles per hour above the speed limit, according to the statement.<\/p>\n
Narcotics were also recovered on the scene, Ursitti said.<\/p>\n
Gutierrez is scheduled to appear for a bond hearing Sunday in Central Bond Court (Br. 1) at 2600 S. California Ave.<\/p>\n
Wentworth Area detectives and the Independent Police Review Authority, which investigates all police-involved shootings, is investigating.<\/p>\n
