As per the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office, the woman told cops that she was sleeping when someone broke into her house and held her down.
According to the state’s attorney’s office, the woman told police that the suspects went through her bedroom and the rest of the house. She thought that her prescription drugs and electronics were taken.
Investigators got the Indiana license plate for a car that was registered to Kidd from a security video, prosecutors said.

The Evansville cops found the same car and took it away. The state’s attorney’s office says that Kidd was found to be close to the woman’s home at the time of the crime.
Associate Lake County Judge Theodore S. Potkonjak agreed with prosecutors’ request to hold Kidd until his trial because he was a threat to the community.
“We believe it was somehow a targeted offense and not a risk to the community,” said Patrick Kreis, chief of police for Vernon Hills. “We are actively working to apprehend at least one more offender in this case.”
Kreis said that the woman did not have any major injuries.
