RIVERSIDE, IL – A man accused in a 2019 home invasion in Riverside was arrested over the weekend in a restaurant shooting, according to a news report. In January 2019, Jeremiah Noah, now in his mid-20s, took part in a home invasion in the 200 block of West Quincy Street in Riverside, local police said. The suspects pistol-whipped a woman and kidnapped her son, dumping him in an alley in Chicago, police said. The home invasion was over an unpaid drug debt, according to police. At the time, Noah was charged with violent crimes in other suburbs. On Saturday, CWBChicago reported Noah shot his gun at the ceiling of a Mexican restaurant near Midway Airport and threatened five of its customers with his gun. He was on electronic monitoring. "Mr. Noah is an extremely violent individual and should have never been out on bond or electronic monitoring," retired Riverside Police Chief Tom Weitzel told CWBChicago. "He was the ringleader in an armed home invasion that took place in Riverside in 2019." Weitzel, who retired last year, told CWBChicago that electronic monitoring should not be used for "extremely violent" people such as Noah. "The notion that this is somehow criminal justice reform and public safety is not affected by violent criminals on electronic monitoring is simply ridiculous," Weitzel said to the news outlet.
