Downers Grove Police Arrest 3 Adults, 1 Teen for Mob Action

Three adults and one teenager were arrested and charged with mob action within the past week, Downers Grove police announced.

Police Chief Kurt Bluder said in a release that the four were arrested in connection with a physical fight that broke out at 4435 Oakwood Ave. on Jan. 31. Officers had responded to the home around 8 p.m. that day after receiving reports of gunshots at the residence. By the time they got there, the suspects were gone.

After investigation, Bluder said his team learned that three people had gone to the house to "settle a dispute with a resident" when things had gotten physical. Another group of people — friends of the house's resident — drove to the home and one of them reportedly fired a gun from a car multiple times to break up the fight.

All four people arrested were in the car with the gunman; who the gunman was is unspecified by police.

Brandon Duda, 22; Justin Toelcke, 18; and Christopher Brooks, 24, alongside a juvenile, were all arrested in February. Brooks and Toelcke were arrested Feb. 8 — Duda was taken into custody Feb. 1 and also charged for trying to run away from officers when he was arrested.

Duda is currently being held at the DuPage County Jail on $50,000 bond. Both Brooks and Toelcke posted bond and were released from police custody.
