A Plainfield man is charged with yelling a racial slur at a child over the weekend.
The DuPage County State's Attorney's Office says it happened in Naperville Saturday, after a girl reportedly damaged a fort being built by a nine-year-old boy.
The boy knocked on the girl's door, and her mother's boyfriend, 29-year-old Jeffery Feigenbaum, allegedly yelled a racial slur at the child, pushed him and then threw his bike.
Feigenbaum made his first court appearance Sunday, charged with two counts of Hate Crime (Class 4 Felony) and one count each of Misdemeanor Battery and Disorderly Conduct.
The Court denied the State’s motion to detain him pre-trial, and Feigenbaum was released from custody with conditions.
His next court appearance is scheduled for July 13, 2026.
