The man at the center of last weekend's Lake Shore Drive standoff topped 100 mph during an expressway police pursuit, drew fire from three officers and hit a squad SUV so hard it went airborne, a prosecutor said Tuesday.
The new details were disclosed as charges were filed against Joseph Felton, 44, formerly of the 700 block of Union Avenue in University Park. He was charged with attempted first-degree murder, aggravated battery/use of a deadly weapon and aggravated fleeing of police more than 21 mph over the speed limit.
Felton was denied bail during a hearing today but did not appear in court because he remains at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Police say he cut his wrists while holding police at bay in his black Chrysler 300 for nine hours Sunday.
The chase began about 12:50 p.m., when a Harvey police officer approached Felton as he sat in a parked car in the south suburb, Assistant State’s Attorney Dan Griffin said. The officer knew of a warrant for Felton’s arrest out of Georgia, where he was a suspect in his wife's death earlier this month, Griffin said.
Felton sped off onto Interstate 57, Griffin said. He merged onto the Dan Ryan Expressway, driving at more than 100 mph and weaving in and out of traffic, the prosecutor said. With Chicago police and Illinois State Police joining the pursuit, Felton headed north on Lake Shore Drive.

At North Avenue, three police cars waited for him, with drivers stopping behind them,[url=http://hdheadphones.co.uk/beats-by-dr-dre-pro-headphones_categories366/]Beats By Dr Dre Pro headphones[/url], according to Griffin and court documents. Felton’s car struck the back of Toyota Avalon, causing the driver’s head to strike her steering wheel and the Avalon to hit a CPD squad car, according to Griffin.
At that point, two troopers and a Chicago police officer fired at Felton’s car, “acting out of fear for their safety and the safety of civilians,” Griffin said.
Felton managed to continue driving north and, at Fullerton Avenue, he sped toward a Chicago police SUV, Griffin said. The officer driving the SUV attempted to avoid a collision,[url=http://fashionsuprashoes.co.uk/mens-chukka-boots-lace-up-suede-round-toe_products31488/]Mens Chukka Boots Lace Up Suede Round Toe[/url], but Felton drove at him and rammed the squad car with such force it left the ground, Griffin said.
The officer’s SUV came to rest on the parkway east of the drive, according to court documents. Other units soon surrounded Felton’s car,[url=http://discountmenssneakers.com/rss_feed/?cPath=95&feed=products/]THE NORTH FACE[/url], beginning a standoff that would last more than eight hours.
In announcing the charges, police said they have been in contact with authorities in Henry County, Ga. where Felton's wife Sheray Latriest Felton was found dead on March 8. Her body was not discovered until days later when her mother flew down from Chicago, her family said.
An autopsy Monday found that Sheray Felton died from blunt force trauma with a weapon, including lacerations "with an edged weapon," according to the Henry County sheriff's office. Police have said Joseph Felton is a suspect in her death.
"We currently have detectives in Chicago to continue with the death investigation," the Henry County Sheriff's Office said in a release today. "The extradition process will begin once he is presented with the Chicago charges. ... At this time we are building a case for prosecution."
In November 1999, Felton kicked in his wife's door, took a razor blade and cut his wife repeatedly on the head, face, neck, arms, back and body. He then dragged her to his car and drove around for 12 hours before taking her to the hospital. At the hospital, he told the staff that his wife had been robbed, according to court documents.
Sheray Felton had sought two orders of protection against her husband since 2011, claiming he was extremely jealous, was physically abusive and had threatened to kill her and her son if she tried to leave him, according to court records.
Felton was charged with domestic battery in July 2013 when Sheray Felton alleged he struck her in the face and pulled her wig from her head, but charges were dropped when she failed to appear in court.
Her family said she finally moved to Georgia several months ago to get away from her husband, but Felton followed her there.
After the murder, Felton fled back to Chicago, where he sought help in vain from his sisters, according to police. On Sunday, Harvey police went to a home where they believed Felton was hiding and saw Felton in the Chrysler 300,[url=http://freeshippingclothing.co.uk/dsquared2_categories301/]DSquared2[/url], according to court documents.
