PEKIN -- Two fishermen have found the body of a 41-year-old Pekin man, who had been missing since March.
Authorities say the fishermen on Sunday found the body of Jeffrey McCormick. The man was last seen fleeing police after a traffic stop on March 22 by jumping into Pekin Lake. Police say there were warrants for McCormick's arrest on misdemeanor charges.
Divers had searched the lake, using boats and sonar, for two days but did not find the man.
The Tazewell County coroner plans an autopsy on Monday.
