Report of Arrest of Felon in Holiday Inn Incident

On October 27, 2021 at 10:53 am Algonquin Police Department personnel responded to the Holiday Inn Express, 2595 Bunker Hill Drive, for a report of suspicious activity.

During their investigation, officers discovered that a guest of the hotel was wanted a felony arrest warrant.

That guest was determined to be LaBurron Jackson, 37 years of age, with a last known address in Chicago.

Officers attempted to contact Jackson; however, he refused to answer the door of his hotel room and indicated that he would resist officer’s attempts to take him into custody.

At that time, it was unknown as to whether or not the subject was armed.

Members of the Algonquin Police Department secured the scene and Jackson was contained to his hotel room.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Department’s SWAT and Hostage Negotiation Team responded and assisted with tactical operations and negotiations.

Due to the close proximity of the incident location to H.D. Jacobs High School, the CUSD 300 administration was contacted and informed of the incident.

At no time during this incident was the safety of the students’ in jeopardy.

McHenry County SWAT negotiators and social workers spoke with Jackson for several hours in an attempt to persuade him to surrender himself.

When those negotiations resulted in Jackson’s repeated refusal to surrender himself, chemical irritants were deployed into the room by members of McHenry County SWAT.

At 8:12 pm Jackson was taken into custody for an arrest warrant for Parole Violation- Sexual Exploitation of a Minor. Jackson was provided medical attention for his exposure to the chemical irritants.

Further charges against Jackson are pending.

No members of the public or law enforcement were harmed during this incident.
