As part of a criminal investigation, Antioch police executed a search warrant Wednesday after a boy was thrown from a carnival ride at Sunday’s Taste of Antioch.
The 10-year-old boy, identified by a family member as Huntley, was not properly secured into the seat, causing him to be thrown from the ride while it was in motion, village officials said Wednesday. Antioch police joined the Illinois Department of Labor to inspect the Moby Dick ride following the incident and were granted a search warrant to secure possession of the ride as part of an ongoing criminal investigation, according to a village press release.
