Man Accused of Giving Teen Heroin Twice Violated Probation: Court Records
Police arrested Matthew Lefebvre, 19, on misdemeanor charges of child endangerment for allegedly supplying a 16-year-old girl with heroin, a move that appears to have violated his probation on a 2011 theft case.
A 19-year-old Palos Hills man sitting in Cook County jail after he allegedly supplied a 16-year-old girl with heroin twice violated his probation from a previous theft case, according to court records.
Matthew Lefebvre received a $150,000 bond after being charged with misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and child endangerment on Nov. 7. Police also arrested Witold Studencki, 20, of Palos Hills, who is charged with endangering the health and life of a child, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, felony possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug equipment.
Lefebvre was arrested on Oct. 26 for the same charges.

Court records show he was taken into custody on a bond order for violating probation on a 2011 theft case.
Initially charged with theft and two counts of aggravated battery, Lefebvre pleaded guilty to one count of theft in a plea agreement with prosecutors. He was sentenced to 40 hours of SWAP—a work program that is an alternative to jail time for non-violent offenders—two years probation and $730 in court costs.
Lefebvre will appear in front of a Cook County judge on the new charges on Dec. 15. and also is scheduled to return court for the probation violation on Dec. 17.

This poor soul is obviously an addict. The real story here is the heroin supplier. I would like to know who, what and where. Who exactly was the supplier, that person's name and the name of the "group" he or she belongs to, what kinds of drugs are they selling, what is their arrest record, what have they been tried for, did they receive probation, and where do they live, home addresses and place of business (what town, what corner, what car or van or truck do they drive around in to do business?) Maybe, if we knew those facts we could actually end the heroin scourge and the accompanying crimes associated with the illegal drug trafficking.

That girl may be a "minor", but she is not innocent. As to where do " you people come from?" We are your neighbors, maybe your childrens teacher. If you believe his biggest crime is selling to a minor, you are mistaken. As to the "poor soul" comment, count your blessings. You obviously have never dealt with an addict. Be careful when and where you speak about "poor souls"..... You may be speaking to your boss, the CEO of your company, your wifes company etc... Parents of addicts are not a select few as they used to be. We are groups around the proverbial coffee table, in the library, at church... Its easy to cast negative comments. I hope you may do so as long as you and your children are alive.

Sheila just doesn't know what it's like in the real world. No need to attack her for that. I hope you never learn first hand about the realities that are out there Sheila. Drugs are everywhere, crime is everywhere, and no one should ever be above suspicion.

Not being negative. Just making the point that Sheila has no clue. The real world is a bad place knowing answers to her questions will do no good. As far as poor souls that piece of crap continued the poor soul as this girl would have and the girl after her it just will continue down the line. Poor Soul after poor Soul. We need a miracle at this point. Just because it is not your son or daughter does not mean it isn't someone else's. I am not ignorant to what is out there. My children are very young and I am scared to death that they don't make the wrong choices. My whole point is that Sheila just doesn't get it. Its like chasing evil right back to the Devil himself. Then what? Ask him to stop? Really???

i knew the guys from the article at some point in my life, and they were by no means bad people. They were stupid about the choices they made and now face the realities of the consequences. if anything the ignorant girl who had overdosed just a short time before,requested more of the same substance expecting a new outcome. She comes off as a victim because we as a society sympothise with drug consumers and are impartial to distributors. they should all get the exact same punishment such as jail time to set them straight

@ all the responses to Sheila...the boy is an addict and if any of you knew what was going on in this world you would know that...his intentions were not to harm or kill the girl...he is on DRUGS ...they all need help and how about we talk to our lovely government that cannot seem to keep drugs from flowing freely into our country...Until this happens and we go after the Big guys the problem will continue...Going after the addicts does nothing especially if they are just tossed into the jail system...they need help with underlying issues!!!!!!
