DECATUR, Ill. (WCIA) — A man is facing charges in Macon County for his role in the attack of a dirt bike rider who was shot and hospitalized in serious condition.

WCIA reported that a 25-year-old man was shot in the chest while riding a dirt bike in the 900 block of W. Decatur St. on Aug. 5.

A Decatur Police sworn statement revealed that a 17-year-old is accused of shooting the victim. Another man, later identified as 36-year-old Drew Ford, is accused of stomping on the victim’s head after the shooting.

The incident stemmed from allegations that the 25-year-old had stolen a motorbike.

Officers spoke with a witness on the scene who observed a truck attempt to run over the 25-year-old while he was riding a green colored motorbike. Then, the witness said she saw two males exit the truck and begin to kick and punch the 25-year-old while he laid on the ground.

Another witness told police that a third man, riding a black motorbike, was also involved. He was seen riding alongside the victim through Decatur. The second witness said the male on the black motorbike pointed a gun at the man on the green motorbike and fired, causing him to crash.

Police later spoke with the victim in the hospital. He identified a 17-year-old as the person who shot him. According to the victim, the 17-year-old on the black motorbike pulled around the truck and pointed a gun at him. The victim put his hands up, but the 17-year-old shot him anyways. Then, the 17-year-old shot at him again, causing him to crash the motorbike. After that, the 17-year-old walked over, stood over him, and the victim “begged for his life and pled for [the 17-year-old] not to kill him,” the police sworn statement reads.

That’s when Ford walked over from the truck, “made contact with him” and stomped on his head. The victim said he then acted like he was unconscious, and the others left him alone and began to load the bikes back in the truck.

The victim is now in stable condition, according to the police sworn statement.

Ford is facing multiple charges including aggravated battery, mob action, unlawful possession of weapons by a felon, and aggravated unlawful possession of a weapon.

On Monday, Ford was denied pretrial release because the court found that he poses a “real and present threat to the safety of the community.” He will appear again in court for a preliminary hearing on Sept. 3.
