Bolingbrook Woman Kicks Officer In Face During Warrant Arrest: Cops

BOLINGBROOK, IL — A 26-year-old Bolingbrook woman kicked a police officer in the face during an arrest on Wednesday for a 2023 warrant, according to the Bolingbrook Police Department.

Bolingbrook Police said officers responded to the 300 block of North Schmidt Road at 1:51 p.m. Oct. 9 for a report of a woman throwing items at a car and a window of a business. Officers found Daja Blount, who "became confrontational," police said.

Blount "had been previously trespassed" from the property after a June incident where she urinated in the parking lot, police said. Blount also had a no-bond warrant out of Will County from a 2023 aggravated battery to a peace officer case.

Blount was told she was under arrest for the warrant, and resisted officers' attempts to handcuff her, according to police. Blount pulled free from officers, and attempted to headbutt and bite one of them, police said.

During the arrest, Blount also kicked an officer in the face and later spit food onto an officer’s face during her transport back to the station, police said.

During Blount’s transport to the Will County Adult Detention Facility, she urinated in the rear of the transport van, creating an additional biohazard, according to police.

Blount was booked for her warrant, and the charges stemming from yesterday’s event are pending State’s Attorney review, police said.
