Oswego man charged with attempted murder in crash into ex, new boyfriend

A man was so upset by his ex-girlfriend dating another man that he rammed his car into theirs twice Monday afternoon in Montgomery, authorities said. And when police arrested him, he told the officer “Take me to jail” and that it was attempted murder because that “was what he was trying to do,” according to Kane County court records.

Justin S. Busby, 23, of the 1500 block of Light Road in Oswego, has been charged with attempted murder; aggravated battery with a deadly weapon; aggravated battery in a public place; and aggravated assault, according to court records.

He appeared in bond call at Aurora Branch Court Tuesday morning, where his bail was set at $100,000.

According to the synopsis presented in court, the crash happened at 2:17 p.m. at Route 30 and Orchard Road. A witness told police the driver who caused the crash had taken off on foot. Busby was arrested about a quarter-mile from the scene.

According to the synopsis, Busby told the police officer he saw the victims at a stop light. He then turned his vehicle around, hit them from behind, backed up, then hit the driver’s door.

The victims are a Naperville man and a Plano woman. The synopsis did not specify any injuries, or the types of vehicles involved. The Montgomery Police Department has not released information about the case as of late Tuesday afternoon.
