Woman Screams On Fiday Road, Placed In Bear Hug By Attacker: JPD

JOLIET, IL — A 31-year-old resident who comes from the 3800 block of Fiday Road, Martin Castillo junior, is back in the Will County Jail for the fourth time since December, after Joliet police say he violently attacked a 61-year-old woman last week inside their home.

Castillo was taken to the jail and booked into custody on charges of domestic battery and unlawful restraint. He remains in custody as of Monday.

Joliet police spokesman Dwayne English said the latest incident involving Castillo happened this way:

On March 13, at 1:15 a.m., Joliet police were called to a house in the 3800 block of Fiday Road for a domestic disturbance.

Officers overheard a woman screaming from inside. After receiving no answer at door following numerous attempts, the officers forced entry into the home and discovered a female adult on the floor at the top of the stairs with Castillo standing over her.

Castillo was placed into custody without incident.

"It is believed that Castillo pushed her in the chest and then placed her in a bear hug to prevent her from answer the door and letting officers into the home," English announced.

A Joliet Fire Department ambulance responded to the home for the victim, but she was not taken to the hospital.
