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.
