Naperville man charged with hate crime
-- The DuPage County State's Attorney's office charged 49-year-old Keith Klingeman with a hate crime for putting swastika stickers on the signs of Patricia Gustin, a candidate for DuPage County Board.
Between October 2 and October 16, Klingeman allegedly put swastika stickers on two campaign signs belonging to Gustin. On December 9, 2022, Judge Jeffrey Mackay issued a $50,000 bond for the incident, with 10% to apply to the warrant. Klingeman turned himself in that day at the Naperville Police Station and was released from custody.
"Naperville strives to be an inclusive community that values diversity, and the actions alleged in this case directly conflict with that mission," Arres said."This department will continue to vigorously investigate any allegations of hate crimes in this City and hold those responsible for such behavior accountable for their actions."
