Federal Agents Arrest Man in Bolingbrook Police Lobby After Reported Encounter

Local officials say the operation occurred without prior notice to Bolingbrook police.

Overview

  • Federal immigration agents detained a 40-year-old man Tuesday morning inside the Bolingbrook Police Department lobby.
  • Agents had been conducting targeted immigration enforcement at a Hywood Lane residence, according to local authorities.
  • Federal agents said the man was told to identify himself and exit his pickup, then drove through grass and hit an agent's parked vehicle with emergency lights on.
  • The man drove to the police station just before 7:45 a.m. to report the encounter, and agents took him into custody before Bolingbrook officers reached the lobby.
  • Bolingbrook police filed a criminal damage to property report tied to the alleged intentional crash, and the Department of Homeland Security has not responded to requests for comment.
