Shirtless Man Throwing Things At Joliet Homes And Windows Arrested: Police

JOLIET, IL — The Joliet Police Department said 40-year-old Antwon Williams was charged and released on a notice to appear in court in connection with two separate crimes involving criminal damage to property on the city's southeast side.

In the first instance, Joliet police spokesman Dwayne English said that at 7:23 p.m. Aug. 1, officers responded to the 300 block of South Ottawa Street for multiple reports of a shirtless man subject throwing objects at houses and windows.

Witnesses reported the person entered the second floor of an apartment building in the 300 block of South Ottawa Street and was seen breaking a window inside the apartment. Officers saw a man matching the description approaching the basement entrance of the same address.

Later, English noted, the officers found damage to the door frame and issued verbal commands for anyone inside to exit. The man, identified as Williams, exited and was placed into custody without incident.

Officers spoke to the owner of the building and learned that Williams was unwanted at the property, the arrest report showed.

Williams was subsequently charged and released on a notice to appear for a second crime of criminal trespass to a residence later that same night. His friend, 43-year-old Michael Motley, was also charged and released on a notice to appear for criminal trespass, police said.

In that incident, at 9 p.m. Aug. 1, officers responded to an apartment building in the 300 block of South Ottawa Street for a trespassing complaint. Officers learned that people were possibly trespassing, and no one should be in the vacant apartment.

Officers arrived and found Williams and Motley inside the vacant apartment, English said. Both were placed into custody without incident. Williams was arrested at the same location earlier in the day.
