Assaulting Police

Larry Francis, 35, of Calumet City, was arrested and charged with assault after police said they picked him up from St. James Hospital in Olympia Fields because a security guard was suspicious he was drunk or high. Police said they took Francis to his girlfriend's house in Olympia Fields, but he became irritated when he did not have the keys. When his girlfriend arrived at the scene, police said they advised Francis not to approach her. Francis then walked toward a police corporal and said, "I'm going to kick your ass," according to reports.
