Aurora man charged in chase to keep car

An Aurora man led police on a high-speed chase and nearly hit an officer with his car Tuesday - all in an attempt to avoid having his vehicle repossessed, authorities said.

Gregory D. Huston, 35, admitted he was "lucky he didn't kill anyone" in the incident, which began about 9 p.m. in front of his apartment on the 1400 block of Jericho Circle, according to a police report.

Police said Huston was sitting in his 1997 Lincoln Town Car with the engine running when a repossession firm, assisted by an Aurora police officer, arrived and attempted to take the vehicle. He resisted, however, and nearly struck the officer as he sped off, police said.

A short time later, a Kane County sheriff's deputy clocked Huston driving 90 mph in a 30 mph zone on Jericho Road in unincorporated Aurora Township and tried to pull him over.

Huston continued on at a high rate of speed, turning onto Orchard Road and, eventually, Galena Boulevard, where he was seen swerving around vehicles and weaving in and out of eastbound traffic, according to police.

Police said a "spike strip" on Galena Boulevard at View Street finally stopped Huston, who crashed into a utility pole and building.

No one was hurt. Huston was arrested on charges of aggravated fleeing or eluding police, driving more than 40 mph above the speed limit, concealment of collateral to avoid repossession, aggravated assault, reckless driving and driving without insurance.

According to a police report, Huston later told investigators he needed his car to get to work, and that "all he wanted to do was get away from Jericho Circle as fast as possible and hide his car."

"Gregory told me he made a very bad mistake in trying to run from the police, and he's lucky he didn't kill anyone," a Kane County sheriff's officer wrote in a report.

Huston was being held in the Kane County jail Wednesday, unable to post 10 percent of a $20,000 bond. He returns to court today, according to Kane County jail records.
