A Chicago real estate agent being chased by police on Sunday dashed onto
the Chicago Marathon route and ran a portion of the race before being
tackled to the ground by police.
Bryan Duffy, 29, allegedly joined a pack of runners, and bumped into
several of them, after police began chasing him on State Street, which
is near the start of the marathon route.
Officers wanted to talk to Duffy, of Avondale, after he was spotted digging around flower pots along the route. When officers approached, Duffy ran away and joined the runners. Officers caught and tackled him to the ground. In court, during a brief hearing on Monday, Duffy's face revealed apparent road rash.
Officers found an Altoids box with 10 capsules of suspected MDMA (also known as ecstasy or Molly) and a wad of bills totalling $531. Duffy was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance, resisting arrest and reckless conduct for putting marathon runners in danger, according to the report. A Cook County judge set Duffy's bail at $10,000.
