(MT. VERNON, IL) — A Walnut Hill man found guilty for felony burglary attempted to flee authorities after being transported to the Jefferson County Justice Center Thursday. After a brief foot chase, authorities recaptured 50 year old Mark Linkon after attempting to escape the sally port area of the jail. In his case, Linkon saw formal charges of Class 2 Felony burglary for an incident that happened on April 27^th after he entered a structure with the intention of committing a theft. He will have a status hearing on August 29^th at 11 a.m. and will have a sentencing hearing on the burglary charge to be set at a later date. He will now also face additional charges for his escape attempt. In yet a separate case, Linkon has pending felony charges for aiding and abetting/forge registration and aiding and abetting/use of false identity in a case in which he is accused of forging signatures on a vehicle’s title. Linkon is being held at the Justice Center on a combined bond of $105,000. A criminal history shows Linkon was arrested last summer in Wabash County after he allegedly stole a pickup truck and took sheriff’s deputies on a multi-county pursuit. In 2015 he made local headlines when he attempted to take out orders of protection against a Marion County Sheriff’s deputy and the Marion County Sheriff’s Department. According to Marion County court records, Linkon initially claimed deputies burned his house down, and then claimed they set his Jeep on fire. But when he appeared in front of Judge Mark Kelly said he was tired of being arrested. Judge Kelly denied Linkon’s requests as he has no family or household connection to the deputy and there is no basis in law for filing an order of protection against a governmental agency.
