Arrestee doubles his troubles by vandalizing cell



NAPERVILLE, Ill. (STNG) - Should you ever find yourself in the unenviable position of occupying a police holding cell, chances are you'll want to be on your best behavior, at least until you're released.

Unless, of course, you'd rather double your trouble by vandalizing the place.

Naperville police say Jeffrey R. Dillavou chose the latter course of action and now faces trial on charges of residential burglary and criminal damage to property.

Dillavou, 19, of Naperville, was initially charged with stealing a digital camera valued at $100 from a home in the 600 block of Gettysburg Court. The alleged crime occurred June 18.

Naperville police Cmdr. Ken Parcel said Dillavou was part of a crew painting the interior of the home that day. The owner found the camera missing from a room and notified police, who investigated, and on June 25, took Dillavou into custody for the crime.

Dillavou was in a holding cell at the police station between 6:34 p.m. that evening and 6 a.m. June 26. Parcel confirmed that at some point during his detention, Dillavou allegedly removed a screw from a lighting fixture and used it to etch the letters "JD" and the legend "6/9" into the cell door.

Records on file in DuPage County Circuit Court in Wheaton indicated Dillavou will appear there July 16 for a preliminary hearing on the burglary charge.

Dillavou served jail time earlier this year after pleading guilty to a charge of attempted residential burglary, a crime that occurred in November 2007 in Naperville, according to court records. He was later placed on probation.

He was also arrested in January in Naperville on a misdemeanor charge of possession of marijuana, court records showed. A judge in May ordered him to perform community service work and placed him on a year of conditional discharge.

Lisle police arrested Dillavou in March 2007 on misdemeanor charges of possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, court records indicated. The drug paraphernalia charge was ultimately dismissed, and Dillavou in May 2007 received court supervision on the marijuana complaint, according to court records.
