Elmhurst Sex Offender Arrested: Authorities

ELMHURST, IL – An Elmhurst man who pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography earlier this year was arrested this week, authorities said.

Samuel Pulli, 28, of the 600 block of South Fairfield Avenue, was taken into custody Monday on a DuPage County Sheriff's Office warrant, which was issued earlier the same day, records show.

The arrest took place at the Elmhurst police station, indicating Pulli turned himself in. He was taken to the DuPage County Jail, where he remained Thursday afternoon, according to jail records.

Pulli pleaded guilty in January to the 2021 child pornography charge, court records say.

DuPage County Court required that Pulli register as a sex offender. According to the state sex offender website, his victim was under the age of 13.

It was unclear why a warrant was issued for Pulli's arrest this week. Patch left a message with the city.
