Shorewood Strangling Defendant, 58, Released From County Jail

SHOREWOOD — Felix Adams, a 58-year-old Shorewood man who lives near the Kipling Estates in the Westminster subdivision, has been let out of the Will County Jail after the Will County State's Attorney's Office of Jim Glasgow opted against trying to keep Adams incarcerated under the new SAFE-T-Act.

According to court documents, Adams has been charged with aggravated domestic battery, aggravated battery and domestic battery.

The Shorewood Police Department contends that on Saturday, Adams placed his hands on the neck of a woman inside his house and he tried to strangle the woman, the criminal complaint indicated.

Adams comes from the 25500 block of West Prairiewood Lane, just up the street from Wystone Park, was booked into the Will County Jail around 3:25 a.m. on Saturday. On Sunday morning, around 11:40 a.m., Adams was allowed to go home.

Although Adams is charged with a detainable offense under the SAFE-T-Act, the Will County State's Attorney's Office did not file a petition to detain, the judge's order noted.

Now that he's regained his freedom, Adams has been ordered by the Will County judges to "have no offensive contact" with the victim in his felony case.

Adams' next hearing at the Will County Courthouse is set for Nov. 22 in Courtroom 405.
