Police arrest alderman, allege he tried to escape cops
Edwin Santiago was taken into custody Saturday morning, Feb. 20.
Jail records show Alderman Santiago could be charged with felony fleeing or eluding an officer.
The arrest happened at 4:03 a.m., and the incident reportedly occurred around 1:30 a.m., according to the Racine Journal Times.
Residents are left with questions.
“What was he doing out at 1:30 a.m.? Why was he running from police? There’s just a lot of unanswered questions,” said Racine resident Kevin Zirkelbach.
The arrest took place in Caledonia, and jail records show Santiago posted $5,000 bond Saturday.
The Caledonia Police Department says the police report will not be released unless the Racine County district attorney decides to charge Santiago.
