A Streator man is headed to prison for up to 30 years after pleading guilty Thursday to possessing cocaine – and to jumping out of a squad car after police picked him up.

Derek Hornick, 47, appeared in La Salle County Circuit Court and entered a blind plea deal in connection with the unlawful possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, a Class X felony carrying six to 30 years in prison with no possibility of probation. He also pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of escape.

However, attorneys advised Circuit Judge Michelle A. Vescogni that they reached an agreed-upon sentence, which will be revealed at an April 9 hearing.

Hornick will have an opportunity to address the judge during the hearing.

His legal troubles began when police seized at least 15 grams of cocaine Aug. 27. He was granted pretrial release and later placed on GPS monitoring.

After a pair of GPS violations in October and November, a warrant was issued for Hornick’s arrest.

He was picked up Nov. 9, and then he incurred the escape charge for jumping out of a moving squad car. Ottawa police ordered him to stop before shooting him with a stun gun.
