Man Charged with Trespassing at Gov. JB Pritzker's Chicago Home on 4th of July, Police Report Shows
Dwayne Milton, 46, was arrested after allegedly jumping a fence into the governor’s backyard while on electronic monitoring, police said.
- On the Fourth, Illinois State Police detained Dwayne Milton after he allegedly jumped a fence and entered the backyard of Illinois Governor Pritzker's Chicago home.
- Milton, a 10-time convicted felon, was on electronic monitoring for a retail theft case when court records show he violated pretrial release terms almost immediately after receiving an ankle monitor.
- Chicago police assisted Pritzker's security detail around 10 p.m. to detain the intruder, and Milton admitted to officers he held an outstanding Cook County warrant for shoplifting, though authorities found no indication he possessed a weapon.
- State Rep. Patrick Sheehan, R-Homer Glen, told The Center Square the incident "smacks of contempt for the system," while Republican gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey argued the SAFE-T Act is "clearly not working."
- Milton is scheduled to appear in court on July 27; his Cook County criminal history includes more than 60 cases, including felony convictions for burglary, retail theft and robbery.
