Doctor Charged In Skokie Home Invasion

A Glencoe doctor is being charged with burglary and home invasion after he allegedly armed himself and confronted a man who he suspected was having an affair with his wife.

Sergei Shushunov, 59, of Glencoe, entered a Skokie home in the 9200 block Central Park Avenue through an unlocked front door. Armed with a pistol, Shushunov then made his way toward the upstairs bedroom and confronted the homeowner, according to police.

Dressed in a black leather trench coat and wearing gloves, Shushunov found the homeowner on his cell phone talking to his wife. He then pointed the pistol at the man's abdomen and said, “My name is Sergei. Leave my wife alone,” according to police reports.

Shushunov then beat the victim with his fists and fled the house, police reported.

Because Shushunov took the victim’s Apple iPhone, the case is being treated as a burglary and home invasion.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Shushunov is a licensed physician in Illinois. He also operates a hunting expedition business in Russia and has an "arsenal" of weapons at his Glencoe home, the newspaper reported. 

Shushunov's court date is June 27 at 9 a.m.
