Since that time, he has been allowed to go free on his own recognizance, and his next court appearance is planned on the 20th of April. A second person, a juvenile, was also brought into custody; however, the authorities did not give any specifics about this individual because they believe the person to be a minor.
A communications expert with the office of the state’s attorney for Lake County named Sara Avalos indicated that the authorities do not believe that Hagedorn was attempting to steal anything from the athlete’s home. The only thing that was broken was a window, and nothing else was taken.

Media also requested the Highland Park Police Department’s statement, but the department did not respond to their request. The authorities are currently working to determine the specifics of what took place during the break-in while the incident is still being looked into as part of the inquiry.
