Man Jumps from Window to Avoid Paying Child Support

In Chicago, it is reported that a man broke both of his legs while jumping from a third floor apartment window in an attempt to avoid police. Allegedly, 35 year old Ronald McIntyre was not making child support payments, which is why officers came to his apartment.
Officers from the Cook County Sheriff's department say that McIntyre owes $5,979 in court ordered child support payments, making him very delinquent.
Authorities say that they were trying to take McIntyre into custody when they were let into the building by a woman who said she did not know where he was. A child then pointed to a window in the back of the building and when officers looked, they say that McIntyre had jumped and was splayed on the ground.
Despite having suffered two broken legs, McIntyre tried to crawl away. He currently has more than 80 criminal convictions on his record.
