MAKANDA, Ill. (WJPF) – A suspect in a domestic battery case is still wanted by police after escaping the scene of a standoff.
Lucas Thompson, 25, is wanted in connection to the assault Sunday of a 64-year-old female relative in rural Makanda. Law enforcement was on the scene for hours, sending in a crisis team, including a remote camera system, but Thompson was not found.
Since March of 2018, the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office says they’ve been called to the home 37 times with a “significant” number of domestic battery calls.
