Good morning, Joliet.

On Monday, April 16th, inmate Stacy D.

Davis, 22 (from Chicago) allegedly threw a cup of urine at a correctional officer and a civilian employee at Will County Jail, injuring the officer multiple times and striking the employee in the face while he was already in custody on other charges, and he was charged with aggravated battery and battery.

A 17-year-old boy from Joliet was arrested on Monday night after leading police on a high-speed chase in the south suburbs when he allegedly stole a vehicle and a loaded .38 handgun from a business in Peru and was reported to be on his way to shoot someone—officers used spike strips to end the pursuit.

Joliet Catholic Academy held four community meetings and mailed notices to over 300 local neighbors about its plan to build an on-campus stadium.
