Legal Question in Criminal Law in Illinois

Illegal Entry?

My oldest son, whom is 18 moved out of our house about 1 1/2 months ago under other than friendly terms. Myself and my wife left town this past weekend for 2 days. No sooner had we left, we found out he at come to our home and gained entry. He proceded to take a shower, take a nap, help himself to some food from the freezer, and then throw a beer party. He stayed all night and left early the next morning. I am fed up with him and want to press charges. What, if anything can I try to charge him with? He is denying he was even here, even though we have at least 2 people who have said he was and his shirt he was wearing was laying on the floor in one of our bedrooms.

There is the possibility of burglary charges. He had no authority to enter, and he stole your food. A lesser offense might by criminal tresspass to property. Good luck.
