Darien police arrested a 31-year-old man on a domestic battery warrant after his ex-girlfriend reported he was inside her home on the 7700 block of Linden Avenue.
Officers were dispatched to the home at 10:01 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 20, for a report of a suspicious incident, according to a Darien Police Department press release. The homeowner told police her ex-boyfriend was inside the residence. Isaiah Hatcher Degenhart, 31, whose home is listed at the same address, was advised he had an active Darien warrant for domestic battery. He was booked at the Darien Police Department and transported to the DuPage County Jail.
In January 2025, the woman had requested an order of protection against Hatcher Degenhart, but a judge denied it, according to court records cited by Patch. The press release did not detail specific charges filed in connection with the warrant.
