CLINTON COUNTY, IL — A judge in Clinton County Wednesday denied a 20-year-old defendant’s motion to modify the conditions of her bond in a reckless homicide case.

Hadlee Grogan is free on $15,000 cash bond in the 2022 case charging her in connection with a one-vehicle crash in January that claimed the life of her 14-year-old passenger Jarron Haberer.

Grogan had requested modification to the conditions of her bond in that she be allowed to leave the state.

Haberer’s family was in court earlier this month and objected when the defense made an oral motion requesting the bond modification.

Judge Christopher Matoush on Wednesday denied a written motion requesting the modification and scheduled an August 3 pre-trial hearing in the case.

Grogan is facing two Class 2 felonies for aggravated DUI resulting in a fatal crash, and Class 3 felony reckless homicide with a motor vehicle.

Information says the evening of January 29, the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a crash north of Trenton on Sportsman Road near Rutz Road.

The sheriff’s said Haberer was ejected from the vehicle in a “rollover type crash.” He later died at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Breese.
