   KANKAKEE — A pursuit of a mini-bike driver ended with the Tuesday arrest of   
   an 18-year-old Kankakee man, who was allegedly also in possession of a loaded   
   gun.   
      
   Shortly after 11 p.m. Tuesday, a Kankakee County sheriff’s deputy observed   
   an unregistered motorized mini-bike traveling east on East Court Street,   
   according to a Kankakee County Sheriff’s Department press release.   
      
   Leiviy C. McAtee was arrested for not only fleeing police, but also on charges   
   of alleged possession of a loaded, defaced gun.   
      
   As the deputy attempted to initiate a traffic stop, the driver of the   
   mini-bike, 18-year-old McAtee, of Kankakee, rode away and attempted to elude   
   the deputy in the area of the Crestlane Apartments, near the East Court Street   
   and Interstate 57    
   interchange.   
      
   McAtee lost control of the mini-bike as he attempted to cross a curb and   
   subsequently ran away on foot. McAtee was taken into custody a short distance   
   away. Deputies found a loaded firearm with a defaced serial number about 1   
   foot from the ditched mini-   
   bike.   
      
   The Kankakee County State’s Attorney’s Office charged McAtee for   
   possession of a firearm with a defaced serial number, aggravated unlawful use   
   of a weapon and resisting a peace officer.   
      
   “It’s extremely discouraging that these types of incidents and encounters,   
   particularly with such young defendants, are becoming all too common,”   
   Kankakee County Sheriff Mike Downey said.   
      
   “While I attempt to remain optimistic that this troubled individual will   
   receive the justice he deserves, I am extremely grateful that the defaced   
   firearm in his possession was removed from our streets preventing any future   
   violence it may have been    
   involved with in the future.”
