The Lake County Sheriff's office responded to reports of a Toyota speeding back and forth across a Campbell Airport runway. The person on the runway was 30-year-old Erik Deanda-Gonzalez of Zion. In a statement from police chief Christopher Covelli, Deanda-Gonzalez later parked the Toyota and entered multiple hangars next to the runway.
Police found Deanda-Gonzalez hiding inside a plane that was parked beside a taxiway. Employees of Campbell Airport informed police that Deanda-Gonzalez wasn't an employee and didn't own any of the planes at the airport.
