Two days later, Luster turned herself in at the DuPage County Jail, where she was processed and released.
She faces six counts of forgery, a Class 3 felony, prosecutors said.
The indictment alleges Luster “knowingly delivered to the DuPage County Circuit Court Clerk’s Office a false document apparently capable of defrauding another, being a volunteer community service documentation form … dated Dec. 16, 2024, that indicated” her client had completed 247.5 hours of community service at a daycare facility in Calumet City.
The six-count indictment was filed Aug. 26.
What they’re saying:
“Court orders are not optional, and anyone caught submitting falsified documents to the Court will face serious consequences,” Berlin said. “I thank the Grand Jury for their time and dedication to the rule of law. I also thank Assistant State’s Attorney Ken Tatarelis, Supervisor of my office’s Public Integrity/Financial Crimes Division, as well as State’s Attorney Investigator Timothy Black for their thorough investigation into this matter that led to charges against the defendant.”
What’s next:
Luster is scheduled to return to court Oct. 9.
