Officer Activities
On September 6", 2023, at approximately 7:15 p.m., West Chicago police officers responded to a traffic
crash with injuries on Neltnor Boulevard and Kings Circle. Upon their arrival, officers found the victim
lying on the ground. The victim was immediately transported to a local hospital, where he was
pronounced deceased approximately one hour later. Through their investigation, officers learned that the
driver of a vehicle was allegedly making a left-hand turn northbound onto Neltnor Boulevard in front of
the victim, who was riding a motorcycle southbound on Neltnor Boulevard. The victim was unable to
stop his motorcycle in time and crashed into the driver’s side of the suspect’s Toyota Corolla, causing
him to fly off his motorcycle and land on the ground. It is alleged that after the crash, the suspect driver
of the vehicle fled the scene on foot. West Chicago police officers located the suspect at approximately
2:00 a.m. the following morning at a West Chicago apartment. He was taken into custody at that time
without incident. The suspect was charged with one count of Leaving the Scene of an Accident Causing
Death and one count of Driving While License Suspended — 2nd Offense.
#2300239 On February 13", 2023, Detective Flanigan received a Cyber-Tip generated by the National
Center for Missing and Exploited Children that Snapchat had reported possible child pornography. The
IP address that downloaded the images came back to Comcast. A subpoena was obtained, and it was
learned that the IP address in question came back to an apartment in the 300 block of Clayton St.
Subpoenas were also issued to Google for information about the email address tied to the Snapchat
account. This also came back to the address on Clayton St. An Apple ID photo was located of a suspect,
and a search of law enforcement databases was able to identify a suspect at the Clayton St address. On
August 9", a search warrant was obtained for the suspect's address, with two cell phones being seized.
The suspect, a juvenile, and his mother were transported to the Police Station and interviewed. The
suspect admitted to viewing the images. On September 13th, 2023, Detectives Flanigan and Eversole
met with the DuPage County Assistant State's Attorney regarding this investigation. After a review of
the case file, ASA Kinsella approved charges (Three Counts of Child Pornography; 720 ILCS 5/11-20.1)
against the juvenile. The ASA advised he would directly file the charges to the juvenile court system.
Detective Eversole met with the juvenile suspect and his father in the police station lobby, explaining
they would receive documentation from the DuPage County State's Attorney's Office, including a future
court date.
#2301373 On August 24, 2023, Officer Montgomery responded to Menards, located at 220 W. North
Ave., for a reported attempted retail theft. Upon arrival, the complainant advised a suspect had taken a
full cart of items valued at $157.56 out of an emergency exit in the garden section to the parking lot.
Once in the parking lot, the suspect was confronted by management. The suspect stated he lost his receipt,
and when the employee said he would call the police, the suspect left in a car. The employee obtained a
photo of the vehicle, the vehicle’s plate, and the suspect. Detective Eversole provided information on the
registered vehicle owner's son. The Secretary of State's driver's license photo matched the theft suspect.
Several phone messages were left at the suspect's residence before the suspect called back. A meeting
was arranged, but the suspect never arrived on the date and time. Detective Montgomery went to the
suspect's residence in Oak Park and was advised the suspect was at work. It was learned that the vehicle
in the photograph is owned by the family and driven by the suspect. A photo lineup was conducted, and
the Menards employee selected the suspect's photo. The DuPage County State's Attorney's Office
approved a charge of Retail Theft by Emergency Exit, and a warrant was obtained. On September 16",
the suspect turned himself in at the Police Station to be processed on the warrant.

Officer Activities
#2301151 On July 1°, officers responded to the 29W300 block of Hawthorne Ln for a report of
shots fired. Upon arrival, a victim was located lying in the yard, and it was later determined the
victim's injuries were consistent with being struck by a car and not a gunshot wound. The victim
later died from the injuries at Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital. Witnesses were
identified and interviewed and claimed that they heard shots fired preceding the victim being
struck by the vehicle. On July 4", Detective Herbert and Officer Winton interviewed an occupant
of one of the two cars repeatedly seen in the area of the fatal crash. This subject was able to
identify the owner and driver of the red SUV. Additionally, this individual stated he saw the SUV
strike the victim. The DuPage County State's Attorney's Office approved a charge of Failure to
Report an Accident Involving Death, and an arrest warrant was obtained for the suspect. On
October 11", the Department was advised a juvenile was attempting to turn himself in on the
warrant at the DuPage County Jail. DuPage County would not accept the subject due to his being
a juvenile. Officer Solis went to the DuPage County Jail, located the suspect, and brought him
back to the Police Station. The juvenile's lawyer and family stated the suspect would not make
any statements. After being processed, the suspect was transported to the Kane County Juvenile
Justice Center for detention.
