Trespasser on Governor’s Property | St. Louis News

A 46-year-old repeat offender, Dwayne Cortez Milton, allegedly scaled a fence and trespassed onto Governor Pritzker’s Chicago estate—caught by state troopers before Chicago PD arrived. Already on electronic monitoring for a separate felony theft charge, Milton’s probation violations led to a warrant and a judge’s frustration. With over 60 prior convictions—including burglary and robbery—his case has ignited debate over Illinois’ pretrial release system and the SAFE-T Act, as Republicans argue the system fails to keep communities safe, especially for habitual offenders. He’s now locked up for the theft, pending trial for trespassing on July 27. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
