On 06/14/2019 at approximately 1635 hours, R/O Sostre #356 was on patrol and
dispatched to Gail Borden Library/270 N. Grove St., Elgin IL 60124 in reference to a F/W
subject who was found unresponsive in a bathroom stall. Upon arrival to the location, R/O
was escorted to the 1st floor women's bathroom by security personnel. Upon arrival to the
restroom, R/O observed a F/W subject laying on the floor of the far left bathroom stall. R/O
attempted to wake the subject up but was unable to do so. R/O observed the subject to be
unconscious but was breathing. R/O then attempted to move the subject onto her back due to
her laying on her left side in the fetal position. R/O observed the subject to be drooling from
her mouth and was not responsive to R/O's touch or voice. While moving the subject, R/O felt
several bulky items inside her boots. R/O then retrieved the items and noted there to be (4)
Platinum 7X, 100ml, 40% proof vodka bottles stuffed inside. All (4) bottles were still full and
sealed.

While on scene, R/O spoke with the fiance of the subject who was identified as Brandon S.
Metz (d.o.b. Metz advised that the unresponsive subject was his fiance, Holly K.
Sathern (d.o.b. 12/30/1983). Metz advised that Sathern was 3 months pregnant with his child.
Metz stated that he did not know Sathern to abuse alcohol and she was not known to
consume illicit substances. Metz stated that he received a text from Sathern asking him to
pick her up at the library at approximately 1619 hours. Metz stated that he was already in the
area because he had just gotten off work and responded to library several minutes later. At
1630 he texted Sathern back to tell her that he was there and waiting for her outside but
received no response. He then called her several times but got no answer. Metz then went
inside and spoke with a library employee at the customer service desk at which time he was
advised that a female subject had just been found unresponsive in the women's bathroom.
Metz then went inside the restroom and positively identified the unresponsive subject as
Sathern. Metz stated that Sathern had gone to library to print some items off the computer
and to check out some books.

Once Sathern was taken out of the restroom and placed onto the ambulance, R/O
searched the garbage cans in the restroom and located (2) empty Platinum 7X, 100ml, 40%
proof vodka bottles and (1) half full bottle in the garbage receptacle in the same stall that
Sathern was located in. R/O collected all of the bottles and later entered them into evidence.

While at St. Joseph's hospital, R/O was advised by hospital staff that Sathern was
confirmed to be pregnant but unsure how far along. After collecting urine and blood samples
from Sathern, it was confirmed that she had a BAC of .501%. R/O was advised that Sathern's
unborn child could possibly be dead due to the high level of alcohol intoxication but several
more tests would need to be conducted. Sathern did not have any obvious signs of bodily
injury or trauma to her person and was still unresponsive at the hospital. R/O was not able to
speak with Sathern due to her high level of intoxication.

to Major Investigations Sgt. Lullo #186. R/O was advised by Sgt. Lullo to document the
incident for future follow up.
