Legal Question in Criminal Law in Illinois

I would like to ask Q for my brother. He has an open case in state of CO for identity theft. He opened an bank account and he was using it for 7 yr even with cr card, without taking any loans or mortgages, basically it was only for personal use without intention for misuse at all. Anyway, he moved to state of IL to take a time and find best solution to deal with this issue. Q1 : If he would get stop by state patrol or local police in traffic, would they be able to find out that he has open case in different state and arrest him? Q2: he still has $$ in that bank. Would be safe to go to the bank and close the account?

Yes. If there is an open criminal case with an outstanding warrant, and he gets stopped, he cold be taken into custody and held for extradition. He needs to hire an attorney on retainer now, before anything happens. From your post, it may be best to have attorney's ready to represent him in both states. I can't answer your next question without more information.
