A downstate man who assaulted a police officer during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol is being held in the Sangamon County Jail following a wrong-way crash last week on Interstate 55 that took the life of a 35-year-old woman, authorities say.
Shane Woods, 44, of Auburn, is being held in lieu of $2 million bail, according to Sangamon County State’s Attorney Dan Wright. Though he has not been formally charged, Woods was arrested by the Illinois State Police on the offenses of reckless homicide, aggravated driving under the influence, driving under the influence and eluding police, Wright said.
