Police arrested an Illinois teenager for trying to sneak into Michael Jordan's lavish Illinois estate last week, according to local reports.
The 7-acre, 56,000-square-foot property, which has been on the market since 2012, has a basketball and tennis court, an infinity pool, and a cigar room, among many other amenities. As Insider previously reported, a staff maintains the home even though it is empty and awaiting a buyer.
The 18-year-old is facing multiple charges, including two counts of criminal damage to property and criminal trespassing to an occupied residence, the Lake and McHenry County Scanner reported, a local news outlet. A juvenile was also taken into custody.
Prosecutors told The Daily Herald that they didn't believe the teenager intended to steal anything.
Footage obtained by FOX 32 shows officials entering the notable number "23" gate in front of the former Chicago Bulls star's home.
Sara Avalos, a communications specialist for the Lake County state attorney's office, told The Daily Herald that only a window was damaged at the property.
According to the reports, the teenager was released on recognizable bond and has an April 20 court date. Police did not release any additional information about the incident due to the juvenile's involvement, the outlets reported.
