DNA collected from a wine bottle helped lead Cook County Sheriff's deputies to a home burglary suspect.
DNA collected from a wine bottle helped lead Cook County Sheriff's deputies to a home burglary suspect. Jeremiah Phillips, 35, was taken into custody on May 1. A day later, he was handed down felony charges of residential burglary, burglary and criminal damage to property, according to the sheriff's office. His charges are in connection with a residential burglary on Sept. 6, 2023, in the 4000 block of Blackstone Avenue in unincorporated Rich Township.
Detectives reviewed surveillance video, which showed a man kicking open a door to a detached garage, opening the fridge and drinking from a "19 Crimes" red wine bottle. The man, believed to be Phillips, then put the bottle back inside the fridge and was seen grabbing spray paint in the garage and covering up the cameras with it, officials said.
