'I'm Going To Kill You': Woman Hid From Attacker As Joliet Police Responded To 911 Call, Prosecutors Say

JOLIET, IL — The Will County State's Attorney's Office of Jim Glasgow has convinced a judge to keep 41-year-old Plainfield-area criminal defendant Daniel Naroleski in the Will County Jail following this week's new charges of violating pretrial release.

A condition of his previous pretrial order informed Naroleski that he was not to come within 3,000 feet of his house in the 2300 block of Woodhill Court. Naroleski was charged by Joliet police with the crimes of aggravated domestic battery and two counts of domestic battery.

According to the prosecution's filing from late last week, on Sept. 17, 2024, a woman told Joliet police 911 dispatchers that she was naked and hiding outside and that her attacker, Naroleski, announced "he was going to kill her." The woman had suffered a laceration to her left eyebrow and a small cut to her nose. The Joliet Fire Department arrived and paramedics treated her injuries.

The woman told Joliet police she was sleeping in bed with Naroleski and while Naroleski watched a movie on her phone, he must have gone through her phone and saw old pictures of a female coworker that he did not like, court files reflect.

Naroleski grabbed a glass bottle and hit the woman in the head with it, then he climbed on top of her and started to strangle her with both hands, prosecutors said. The woman told Joliet police she felt dizzy and lightheaded and thought she would lose consciousness, but she did not.

The victim told officers that Naroleski choked her for about one minute. He also bit her on the nose and threatened to kill her, court files show.

"Although the defendant could be placed on electronic monitoring in the case, the defendant currently lives in the same residence as the named victim in this case," prosecutors revealed. "There is no automatic notification system in place for victims at this time that (she) could register for that would allow her to be notified if the defendant came inside the 3,000-foot exclusion zone so that she may leave or plan accordingly for her safety."

As for his past, Naroleski was found guilty of aggravated battery, reduced from aggravated domestic battery, in a 2015 Will County case. He was also charged and found guilty of domestic battery in a 2014 case, while a different 2014 domestic battery was dismissed. He was charged with a 2001 DUI and received 24 months of court supervision, prosecutors outlined.

Now in custody at the Will County Jail, Naroleski will be remanded to the courthouse by Will County deputies on Aug. 29.
