Richfield man who skipped trial is arrested at O'Hare

Ismail Alqawasmi , a 36-year-old Richfield man, was charged with making terroristic threats during an argument with another man in Wright County. Alqawasmi was arrested at Chicago's O'Hare Airport after skipping out before his trial was to begin this month, authorities said Friday.

His jury trial was scheduled for Oct. 5, but he failed to show up. A warrant for his arrest was issued three days later.

Alqawasmi was expected to appear before a Cook County judge Friday and could soon be headed back to Wright County, the Sheriff's Office said.
