Joliet police made another arrest this week of 36-year-old man after officers say the Woodruff Road resident was making violent threats toward several juveniles and hurling racial slurs at them. Later, he was simulating a sexual act in the presence of the police, according to arrest reports. As a result, Joliet police booked him into the Will County Jail for the second time since May. This time, he is charged with two counts of aggravated battery and one county of public indecency.
Joliet police spokesman Dwayne English at 7:07 p.m. Wednesday, officers responded to Woodruff Road and Draper Avenue for a disturbance. At the scene, English said, Joliet police saw the man standing in the street wearing only boxer shorts, and he appeared to be yelling at several juveniles who were nearby.
Joliet police say they believe he was yelling threats and racial slurs at the juveniles. He returned to his house across the street, where he began to make sexual comments and began to gyrate his body against a nearby pole as if to simulate sexual relations, English noted.
Officers then placed Him into custody.
Police said the man appeared to be under the influence of an unknown substance, and a Joliet Fire Department ambulance was called. Upon arrival of the ambulance, the man spit on a paramedic and a spit hood had to be applied as he continued attempting to spit at the Joliet police officers and the firefighter-paramedics, according to English.
Once he was placed on a gurney in the ambulance, he kicked another paramedic, English noted. He was taken to Silver Cross Hospital, where he spit on an emergency room doctor. The man was evaluated and released from the hospital a short time later, and he was processed at the Joliet Police Department and then taken to the Will County Jail.
