Anthony Maltbia, 21, was ordered held without bail on charges of attempted murder of five police officers prosecutors say he fired upon, as well as aggravated discharge of a firearm and unlawful use of a weapon by a felon.
Cook County Criminal Court Judge Adam Bourgeois Jr. refused to grant Maltbia bail after Assistant State’s Atty. Farrah Brass argued that the shootings about 5 p.m. June 14 in the 10500 block of South State Street took place in a residential area, and Maltbia forced the woman to drive him, even though she had her children in the SUV.
Maltbia was arrested on Tuesday hiding in the ductwork at a home in the 9100 block of South Harvard Avenue. Police and the FBI searched for Maltbia for several months after he disappeared from his home in the 10500 block of South LaSalle Street following the shooting incident.
One June 14, Maltbia forced the woman to drive him to the 11600 block of South Princeton Avenue. There, witnesses saw him walk toward Yale Avenue, with a gun in his waistband, then heard gunshots.
Maltbia got back in the SUV and ordered the woman to drive away, and the SUV was followed by two officers in a police vehicle until Maltbia jumped out near 106th and State streets. Once out of the car, Maltbia pointed his gun at one arriving officer, then fired at the first two officers who were following him.
Maltbia ran through a vacant lot to near 10544 S. Lafayette Ave., stopped and pointed his gun, then shot once at two other officers in a marked squad car, then fired on a fifth officer who was chasing him on foot, who then returned fire.
Maltbia made it to the home where he was registered for his parole and electronic monitoring, but left before police were able to search the home.
While he was evading capture, Maltbia told other people he had shot at police. After a parole violation and an investigative alert were lodged against Maltbia, investigators found him on Tuesday. Video from a squad car captured part of the incident, and victims and several witnesses identified him in lineups.
At the time he traded gunfire with police, Maltbia was on parole for convictions in gun-related cases from 2009 and 2010. He had been released on parole in April, according to the Illinois Department of Corrections.

Well lets get some things straight
Im black and my people dont come from africa and no disrespect to any african people but I dont even know a freaking african so im a bit no a lot insulted by your every nigg** is from africa comment, but I digress.
You do have some valid points about certain undesirables we will say instead of rats hmmm, the parents should step up and be responsible for their children, we could argue that two parent homes are better than single ones with no dishonor towards single moms or dads from which I am an astounding product of. Any debate would not refute the fact this young mans future has diminished due to extremely poor choices.
This young man is going to now reap what he has sown.
You however Mr. Anonymous,
You have such a "personal" opinion about Black People,
So....assertive, its a wonder why you didn't disclose your identity lol
I regret to inform you but based on what I have read in the aforementioned comment, you are in fact a racist.
Now just for future reference when someone says you should go back to where you are from, that IS racist!
When they refer to you as any type of animal or anything demeaning you as a human being they are being the very VILE piece of fecal matter their hatred has allowed them to become.
So thank you Mr. Anonymous for being you and adding nothing to an EVERYONE problem NOT a Black problem,
Troglodytes really do exist!!!!
You both have good points.But I am Hispanic and am also tired of the name calling.Everyone grow up and realize We are in in a path of much more worst things yet to come.We all need to be aware at all times when in the streets of Chicago.Avoid high level crime infested neighborhoods.And carry a gun.I will only use it when my life comes in any danger.I work pay taxes but I'll be dam if I get snoozing.I hope he would jumped in my car with my kids.I would have blown his head off Black,Hispanic,White,Chinese,it don't matter.Hey I've been raised my whole life in Humbolt park .I consider myself a true survivor ,I lost a lot of friends to gun violence.I think to myself would any of them would still be around if they had a gun that night they where killed.I just don't want to be caught off guard.Let's start giving advise on how to protect ourselfs from crime hitting home instead of name calling.
Chicago needs fewer gun laws. Everywhere that guns are strictly controlled in America has much more gun crime than those places with fewer controls.
That Chicagos very own was precisely the premise of my comment, we are not helping by just posting racist rantings on some blog. And I agree if I had a gun and he jumped in my truck with my kids I would have shot too if given the opportunity.
All this violence makes you want to fight back really
You just cant dignify insulting a whole race of people because of some bad choices a few of them have made.
All black people dont know that man lol
Sure just give us your address so We can drop him off at your house.So you can be his next victim.
Naw he will b da victim knocking on my door
