Carpentersville, IL – An arrest has been made in connection with a major arson that displaced 24 families in Carpentersville following a November 2025 fire on Meadowdale Court, officials announced Tuesday.
According to the Village of Carpentersville Public Safety Department, investigators from multiple agencies—including the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office, FBI Chicago Field Office, and Indiana Department of Corrections—collaborated to locate the suspect, who was arrested in Indiana on January 14.
The fire, reported on November 29, 2025, at 104 Meadowdale Ct., resulted in a total loss of the building. Police said the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office has since approved multiple felony charges, including Aggravated Arson, a Class X felony.
Authorities described the arrest as the result of an “extensive, multi-agency investigation,” underscoring months of coordinated efforts between local and federal law enforcement partners.
“This case reflects our department’s commitment to thorough investigative work and strong interagency collaboration,” Interim Chief Kevin Stankowitz said in the department’s statement.
No further details about the suspect’s identity or extradition timeline were released as of Tuesday morning.
