A Fox River Grove man in Oak Park on Tuesday wanted to get enough money together to take a Metra train to get to drug court in St. Charles, police said.

As he was rifling though the glove box of a 2007 Cadillac Escalade that he didn’t have permission to be in, he found an extra set of keys, police said.

No more Metra.

Next thing you know, Daniel C. DeMay Jr., 49, of 300 Opatrny Drive, was driving the Cadillac worth $76,000 through Elgin at 1:10 p.m. Tuesday while an officer from the Kane County Auto Task Force and Elgin police were waiting for him at Bowes Road and Annandale Drive.

The anti-theft device on the Cadillac had notified Elgin police the car had been stolen.

DeMay was charged Wednesday with aggravated unlawful possession of a vehicle and aggravated unlawful possession of a converted vehicle, police said.

Somewhere along the way, DeMay picked up two other passengers.

They also were on their way to the Kane County Judicial Center, police said.

Police released them.

DeMay was unable to post $12,500 bond Wednesday and was taken to the Kane County jail. He also was issued a court date on May 10 at the Kane County Judicial Center, but this time, it’s not for drug court.
