Officer Activities
#2402344 On December 4", Officers McClelland, MacDougal, and Kowalik, and Detective
Montgomery responded to a residence in the 2300 block of Kidwell Drive for a report of a
subject who entered a home without permission. Upon arrival, a resident and neighbor were
outside the house and advised the subject was still inside. Officers observed an open garage
door and an open door to the residence from the garage. Officers entered the residence and
placed the subject under arrest. There was substantial damage inside the home. Officers
transported the subject to the Police Station, where he made statements of self-harm. Officers
requested an ambulance from the West Chicago Fire Protection District to transport the subject
to Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital for an evaluation. After the hospital cleared
the individual for incarceration, officers transported him back to the Police Station. Detective
Herbert and Officer McClelland interviewed the suspect who admitted to entering the residence
and destroying property inside. The suspect stated an "entity" told him to do so. The DuPage
County State's Attorney's Office approved charges of Burglary and Criminal Damage to
Property Over $10,000.00 but less than $100,000.00. Officers fingerprinted, photographed, and
transported the subject to the DuPage County Jail.
#2402226 Detective Calabrese followed up on a criminal defacement of the Turner Ct. tunnel
on November 8", The walls of the tunnel and walking path had "Surenos 13" gang graffiti
painted all over it. A review of the camera system showed the suspect committing the
defacement without a facemask. SRO Arms saw the photo of the suspect and was able to
provide a name. On December 18", Detectives Herbert and Calabrese approached the suspect
outside his residence. Due to the fact the subject is a juvenile, a parent was contacted and
arrived on the scene. She allowed investigators to speak with the suspect. Detectives showed the
parent an image of the offender from the surveillance footage. The parent positively identified
her son and gave consent to Detectives to search her son's cell phone. The suspect was
transported to the Police Station and interviewed. The suspect admitted to doing the Surenos
graffiti in the Turner St. tunnel. Detective Montgomery extracted the suspect's cell phone and
discovered photos that matched the graffiti. Detectives released the juvenile suspect to his
parent. Detectives will direct file through the DuPage County State's Attorney's Office for
Criminal Defacement charges.
