Officer Activities
On July 20", officers responded to a residence in the 1200 block of S. Oak St for a report of bullet hole
found in a garage door. Officers located a spent bullet and two shell casings near the residence. While
conducting a canvas of neighbors in the area, officers learned that gunshots were heard and around that
same time a white SUV was seen driving through the area. Information was received that a resident
who was in the area may have been targeted in the shooting. Detectives Calabrese and Flanigan
interviewed two individuals. One denied being shot at. The second person admitted that she had been in
the area with another individual who engaged in an argument with suspects who exited a white SUV
with a black hood. The suspect returned to the vehicle, produced a handgun and fired two rounds at the
victims before fleeing scene. Detectives were able to obtain surveillance video from a residence in the
1200 block of Oak St showing the white SUV with a black hood. The vehicle was recognized as
frequenting West Chicago driven by a specific individual. On August 3, this vehicle was observed and
stopped in the area of Oak St. and Forest Ave. Detectives Calabrese, Flanigan, Herbert and Bowers and
Officers Alaniz and O’Neil all arrived to assist as the SUV was occupied by four individuals and a
strong odor of cannabis was emanating from the vehicle. The driver was known to have a suspended
license and was placed under arrest. The occupants were removed and a search of the vehicle located
three loaded handguns. All occupants were placed under arrest and transported to the Police Station.
The DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office approved charges of Aggravated Unlawful Use of a
Weapon and Possession of a Stolen Firearm against one offender and Aggravated Unlawful Use of a
Weapon and Unlawful Use of a Weapon against a second suspect. As juveniles, they were both
transported to the Kane County Youth Home.
In December 2019, a subject purchased a Mercedes Benz from Haggerty Ford. It was later learned the
purchase had been made utilizing fictitious documents. The vehicle was later recovered in Lansing. In
attempting to identify the offender, Detective Herbert uncovered an elaborate operation involving stolen
identities, fraudulent credit applications, and fraudulent driver’s license and social security card
manufacturing. The crimes perpetrated by the offenders occurred in DuPage, Cook and Lake Counties
as well as into to Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana and Michigan. Those involved in these crimes included
sales associates with car dealerships and low-level street crime offenders, all led by a lead suspect from
Lansing. The suspect has a lengthy criminal history including a conviction for murder. Detective
Herbert along with a Barrington detective continued working the case. As the evidence against the
main suspect mounted, Detective Herbert reached out to the Illinois Attorney General’s Office and U.S.
Secret Service for assistance. In January of 2021, a large multi-jurisdictional operation led by Detective
Herbert and Barrington’s detective recovered several stolen vehicles, driver’s license manufacturing
equipment and cash. The main suspect fled the area but was later arrested in Indiana for possession of a
stolen motor vehicle and released on bond before fleeing to Atlanta. Detective Herbert received
information on August 29" that the offender may have returned to the Lansing area. On august 30",
Detectives Herbert, Flanigan, Calabrese, the Barrington detective and other investigators began
surveillance near the suspect’s home. Detective Herbert observed the suspect outside a residence and
asked for assistance from other agencies. The U.S. Secret Service, the U.S. Marshalls, Lansing PD and
Barrington PD assisted with taking the suspect into custody on a $1,000,000.00 warrant. The Illinois
Attorney General’s Office approved charges against the suspect including Identity Theft, Aggravated
Possession of a Stolen Motor Vehicle and Being the Organizer of a Continuing Financial Crimes
Enterprise. In total, the suspect was charged with two Class X, three Class 1 and one Class 3 felonies.
Detective Herbert’s efforts in this case resulted in a 26-count indictment, including a total of five Class
11

X felonies against the lead suspect and seven of his accomplices. Assisting in the case were all WCPD
Detectives, TFO Potapezak, Officer’s Levato, Fuller, Nielsen and CSO/Evidence Custodian Fabiani.
On August 4", Officers Kowalik and Smurawski responded to a residence in the 1600 block of
Appletree Ln. A victim there had been battered by her ex-boyfriend who then fled the scene. The victim
was bleeding profusely and was transported to Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital by
West Chicago Fire Protection District personnel for treatment. Medical personnel advised the victim
had suffered a left orbital wall fracture, spinal fracture, scalp contusion and knee and elbow abrasions.
Due to the severity of the injuries, the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office approved charges of
Aggravated Domestic Battery against the suspect. Detective Peterson obtained an arrest warrant for the
suspect with no geographic limitations. Detective Herbert and Officer Kowalik made unsuccessful
attempts to serve the warrant on the suspect at both his residence and place of employment. Due to the
difficulty in locating the offender, Detective Herbert requested that the suspect’s cell phone be
“pinged”. The return on the location came back to a specific area in Jacksonville, Florida. A search of
records of calls made on the offender’s cell phone determined that the suspect had called an individual
who lived at an address in the 12200 block of Amanda Cove Trail in Jacksonville. The Jacksonville
Sheriffs Office was contacted, advised of the no bond warrant and agreed to conduct surveillance on
the Cove Trail residence. On August 25", the offender was arrested on the warrant as he exited the
residence and taken to the Jacksonville County Jail where he will be held pending extradition back to
Illinois.
