State’s Attorney James Glasgow announced Jordan Henry, 28, of Harvey, was found guilty of multiple counts arising from a Chicago carjacking and subsequent car chase by law enforcement that began at 1802 Diversey Parkway and ended off I-55 in Will County. Circuit Judge Bertani-Tomczak rendered the verdict following a bench trial. Jordan was found guilty on all 13 counts charged in the indictment.
Henry’s bond had been set at $1 million. In May, Henry sought to dismiss the action in Will County, arguing it should be tried in Chicago, where the carjacking occurred. Judge Bertani-Tomczak denied the motion after the prosecution argued Henry continued to exert unauthorized control over the stolen Volkswagen Jetta in Will County. Henry was detained on the $1 million bond in the Will County Adult Detention Facility until his trial.
At the time the vehicular hijacking occurred, Henry was out on a $10,000 at 10 percent bond in Cook County for a Class 4 Possession of a Stolen Motor Vehicle on January 26, 2022, less than a month earlier. Henry also had two prior Cook County felony convictions: Class 3 Retail Theft (2013), and Class 2 Robbery, a forcible felony (2012).
Henry’s sentencing is scheduled for March 6. He faces a sentence of 21-to-45 years in prison.
