July 17, 2014 Elgin police late Wednesday afternoon captured Jesse Vega, a prisoner who escaped from the custody of Elgin Mental Health Center security personnel while being transported to court in Lake County Wednesday morning. Police said Vega, 33, of Chicago, jumped out of a stopped vehicle near Seneca Street and Dundee Avenue on Elgin's northeast side. "He was handcuffed in the front seat when he escaped EMHC custody," Elgin Police Cmdr. Ana Lalley said. Januari Smith, a spokeswoman for Illinois Department of Human Services which oversees the Elgin Mental Health Center, said the agency could not comment on its security protocols for transporting prisoners.
