Cops: Parolee attacked woman inside Bolingbrook home

An ex-convict entered the Bolingbrook home of a 40-year-old woman, kicked down her bedroom door and attacked her, police said.

About 11:30 p.m. Friday, officers were sent to the 100 block of Jamestown Lane after receiving a call of a disturbance and battery in progress, Bolingbrook police Lt. Anthony Columbus said. When the officers arrived, they heard a woman yelling for help, he said.

The officers found the woman and Jerry Williams, 32, of Harvey, Columbus said. The woman said Wiliams entered her home, kicked in a locked bedroom door and attacked her, he said.

The woman is an acquaintance of Williams, he said.

Columbus said Williams punched and kicked the woman numerous times. She suffered injuries that were not life-threatening, he said. She was taken to AMITA Health Adventist Medical Center in Bolingbrook and released after treatment, he said.

Williams was taken into custody on probable cause of home invasion, aggravated battery and criminal damage to property. Williams was booked into the Will County jail and his bond was set at $500,000 bond.

Williams was released from Lincoln Correctional Center on April 12, according to the Illinois Department of Corrections, and still was on parole at the time of his arrest.

He had been sentenced to five years in prison in 2016 after he was convicted of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon in Cook County. He was sentenced to more than a year in prison in 2017 after he was convicted of aggravated driving under the influence in Kendall County.
