The Illinois State Police (ISP) Division of Criminal Investigation Zone 2 is investigating a non-fatal shooting in Savanna at the request of the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office.

According to reports, 59-year-old Mark Feltmeyer of Freeport, IL, was taken into custody today. Feltmeyer faces multiple charges, including Possession of a Stolen Motor Vehicle, Criminal Damage to Government Supported Property, Aggravated Fleeing and Attempting to Elude a Peace Officer, and Resisting or Obstructing a Police Officer.

The incident began on June 25, 2025, when Freeport Police Department officers responded to a report of a suspected stolen vehicle. Officers located the vehicle and attempted a traffic stop, but the vehicle fled. The pursuit continued into the early hours of June 26, 2025, involving multiple law enforcement agencies.

During the arrest, Feltmeyer resisted, resulting in damage to squad cars and officers discharging their weapons. Feltmeyer was struck by gunfire and transported to a hospital but has since been released and is now in custody at the Stephenson County jail.

The investigation is ongoing, and the ISP will submit evidence and facts to the Carroll County State’s Attorney’s Office for review. As the investigation continues, Feltmeyer remains presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Feltmeyer is currently being held on multiple charges, including felonies and misdemeanors. The case will proceed according to the law, with the outcome determined by the judicial process.
