DNA Results In Charges

Chicago, Illinois - An Uptown neighborhood man has been charged with home invasion after allegedly breaking into the residence of a University of Chicago student last year in the Hyde Park neighborhood on the South Side.

Clyde Williams, 49, of the 1000 block of West Lawrence Avenue, was charged with felony home invasion, according to police.

Williams was arrested Thursday at 4:30 p.m. at his home and the charge was approved Thursday night, according to police.

Williams was taken into custody after DNA evidence recovered from the scene of the alleged incident matched up with a sample or profile that was in the national CODIS database and he was identified, according to police.

The invasion allegedly occurred Oct. 2, 2008 at 5429 S. Woodlawn Ave. when a female University of Chicago student awoke to allegedly find Williams in her bed, according to police.

The suspect allegedly placed a pillow over her head when she screamed, but she was able to shove him off her and push him to the floor, according to police.

Wentworth Area detectives are investigating.
