An officer went to Isaac's unit to speak with him. He told the officer that he did confront the woman in the vestibule because he thinks she has been moving his belongings around in the storage area of the building.

"He advised that he never told (the woman) that he was going to kill her," the report said.

The officer then asked Isaac another question, the details of which were redacted in the police report provided by police. Then he handcuffed and took Isaac into custody. Isaac was charged with one count of disorderly conduct. He was advised to avoid the woman and not speak to her if he sees her in the common areas of the condo building. Isaac understood, agreed and was released on I-bond, the report said.

Isaac has a June 3 court date in Downers Grove for this case, according to DuPage County court records.
