Hanover Park Teen Charged with Reckless Homicide

DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin and Bloomingdale Director of Public Safety Frank Giammarese announced that a Hanover Park teen has been charged with Reckless Homicide for allegedly crashing his vehicle into another, causing the death of the female driver of the other vehicle. Adrian Pleban, 18 (d.o.b. 7/25/2006) of the 7400 block of Northway Drive, appeared in First Appearance Court yesterday charged with two counts of Reckless Homicide (Class 3 Felony) and two counts of Aggravated Reckless Driving Causing Great Bodily Harm (Class 4 Felony). On June 20, 2025, Judge Anthony Coco issued an arrest warrant for Pleban. Pleban turned himself in to authorities on June 25, 2025, and was released following his court appearance. As a condition of his release, Pleban is prohibited from operating a motor vehicle.
It is alleged that on November 1, 2024, at approximately 10:36 p.m., Pleban was driving a 2013 BMW 328I southbound on Gary Avenue approaching Camden Drive at more than 35 mph over the posted speed limit of 45 mph. It is alleged that Pleban failed to reduce speed and failed to keep a proper lookout and crashed his vehicle into a 2022 Ford Bronco, causing the driver of the vehicle to sustain injuries that lead to her death. It is further alleged that the crash caused traumatic injuries, including multiple fractures and contusions, to the passenger of the vehicle.
“First and foremost, I would like to offer my sincerest condolences to the family and friends of the victim in this very sad case,” Berlin said. “I can’t begin to imagine the pain and suffering they have endured resulting from this senseless tragedy. With the Fourth of July holiday one week away, I urge everyone to please drive responsibly and obey the rules of the road, especially the posted speed limit. I thank the Bloomingdale Police Department and the MERIT Crash Reconstruction Team for their extremely thorough investigation into this tragic incident. I also thank Assistant State’s Attorneys Sean Kinsella and Melissa Kravich for their work on this case.”
“On behalf of the Bloomingdale Police Department, I offer our condolences to the victim’s family on their sudden loss,” Giammarese said. “I thank the Bloomingdale Police Department detectives involved, as well as the MERIT Crash Reconstruction Team for their professional and meticulous investigation into this horrific event. I also thank State’s Attorney Bob Berlin and his team for their work and continued support of law enforcement.”
Pleban’s next court appearance is scheduled for July 21, 2025, in front of Judge Ann Celine O’Hallaren Walsh.
Members of the public are reminded that this complaint contains only charges and is not proof of the defendant’s guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial in which it is the government’s burden to prove his or her guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Congrats to our Peer Jury members who graduated from high school this past week. Without these dedicated students, BPD would not be able to conduct Peer Jury and make it a highly successful diversion program.

Peer Jury is an alternative to court for first-time juvenile offenders of non-serious offenses, such as theft, vandalism, disorderly conduct, to***co possession or underage drinking. The program allows young offenders to accountability for their actions before a group of their peers and determine means of restitution to their victims and the community.

If you are a high school student and wish to participate in Peer Jury, please contact Ofc Jaffe or Ofc McGuire at 630-529-9868!
