POSTED THURSDAY NIGHT Long standoff on Interstate 55 comes to an end Thursday evening Logan County Paramedics transported suspect Floyd Brown to ALMH for non-life threatening treatment shortly after the standoff ended by the use of flash bangs. The crashed truck could not be seen from any direction as it was in a remote deep ditch off of Interstate 55 near Legends Subdivision on the north side of Lincoln. Law enforcement officials and investigators remained on scene for some time after the standoff ended. Dusk was closing in as media waited for near Kruger Elevator just south of the 133 exit to Interstate 55 interchange. Numerous northern Illinois television stations swarmed the area to get first hand reports related to the incident that began with an officer being shot around Rockford. Approximately 3:30 p.m. it was reported that the McHenry County Sheriff's Deputy Jacob Keltner had passed away from his injuries. photos by Jan Youngquist
