Raiden Hagedorn, 18, was apprehended by police Tuesday and has been charged with criminal trespass and two counts of criminal damage to property. A juvenile was also involved.

Mr. Jordan, a six-time champion with the Chicago Bulls and the owner of the NBA’s Charlotte Hornets, was not present on the 7-acre estate in Highland Park, Illinois, at the time of the break-in around 4:10 p.m. Tuesday.
The retired basketball champ has been trying to sell the 56,000-square-foot property since 2012 without success, even as the price of the mansion has dropped from $29 million to $14,855,000. Mr. Jordan’s primary residence is in Florida, according to the local news site Lake and McHenry County Scanner.
Mr. Hagedorn was released on a recognizance bond, and is expected back in court on April 20.
