GLENDALE HEIGHTS, Ill. – A Glendale Heights man has been denied pre-trial release following charges of firing a gun in a residential neighborhood and leading police on a dangerous high-speed chase, authorities announced Tuesday.

Glendale Heights police were called to the 1700 block of Gilberto Street around midnight in response to a domestic dispute. According to prosecutors, 34-year-old Elexei Garcia had an argument with his wife at their home. As his wife attempted to leave, Garcia allegedly blocked her vehicle with his own and banged on her windows, officials said. When she exited her vehicle to walk away, Garcia reportedly followed her and, from roughly 15 feet away, pulled out a gun and fired a shot into the air.
