URBANA, IL (Chambana Today) – On June 22nd, at approximately 1:44 p.m., Urbana police officers were dispatched to an armed robbery of a person inside of a local business. Officers managed to flood the area quickly and engage in a foot pursuit that led to two officers receiving injuries. They were ultimately treated at a local hospital and released. One individual, Shyjuan Dorris, an 18-year-old male from Urbana, was apprehended in an apartment building in the 1100 block of E. Colorado. Officers found that Dorris was in possession of a handgun at the time of his arrest. While approaching Dorris to arrest him, officers saw him knocking on a door requesting to be let in.
