Burglary Suspect at Large

Bloomington IL - On Sunday, 12-23-2018, Bloomington Police Department was
conducting an investigation into ongoing burglaries in Bloomington, Illinois on the city’s
east and southeast side. During the investigation, officers located a suspect in the 900
block of Arcadia Drive. Upon seeing the officers, the suspect entered a black Dodge
Charger and fled in the vehicle through a parking lot and through several back yards
before re-entering the roadway leading to Oakland Avenue. At this time officers lost
contact with the suspect vehicle. The suspect vehicle then turned northbound onto
Veterans Parkway, without headlights, while driving at a very high rate of speed which
ended in a multi-car accident at G.E. Road and Veterans Parkway. The suspect then fled
the accident scene on foot. At the time of this release the suspect has not been located.
The suspect has been linked to a residential burglary that occurred in the evening
of 12-23-2018 in the 3200 block of Dorset Ct., Bloomington. The suspect has been
identified as FLOYD BROWN, a light skinned black male, 39 years of age, 5’10” and 170
lbs., with long black hair and brown eyes. The suspect, who may have been injured in
the accident, has no known connections to Bloomington/Normal. The suspect is likely
trying to find a way back to his residence in Springfield, IL.
FLOYD BROWN should be considered ARMED AND DANGEROUS and should not
be approached. We ask that anyone with information on BROWN contact the
