A Waukegan male offender, wounded by police in a shooting in 2017 that was later ruled a justified police-involved shooting, has been found fit for trial. Edward Prado was shot by police after he allegedly attempted to grab a police officer’s gun.
Lake County Circuit Judge Christopher Stride stated Edward Prado of Waukegan can be tried on charges of attempting to disarm a peace officer, aggravated assault of a peace officer, attempted aggravated robbery and possession of a stolen vehicle.
The Lake County Public Defender’s Office is exploring a mental health court program as an alternative to a trial for Edward Prado. Acceptance to mental health court requires a plea of guilty to the charges by the defendant, according to prosecutors.
