A Chicago man who broke into a Naperville home being visited by his former girlfriend, fought with the home’s occupants and threw a landscaping brick through the home’s front window will serve 20 years in prison.
Adam Stone, 28, was sentenced Jan. 23 by DuPage County Circuit Judge Margaret O’Connell, who found him guilty of two counts of home invasion, a class X felony, following a two-day bench trial in May 2025, a news release from the DuPage County state’s attorney’s office said.
Stone was arrested about 4:10 a.m. Aug. 6, 2022, after he broke a basement window to get into a residence on Smokey Court and ended up fighting with the people inside, who forced him outside, the release said. After he threw bricks through home’s front window and the windows of vehicles parked in the home’s driveway, several men were able to pin him down and call police.
Stone has been held in the DuPage County jail since his arrest after being denied bail, the release said. At the time he was charged, he was on probation after pleading guilty in April 2022 to aggravated domestic battery charges in Cook County.
“We all have the right to feel safe and secure in our homes,” State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said in a statement. “Our homes are our sanctuaries that provide us with safety and security and when Mr. Stone broke into the victim’s home, he not only shattered the feeling of security the homeowners previously enjoyed, he also set an entire community on edge.”
