Will County jail inmate exposed himself, tossed fluid in guards' faces: records

A Will County jail inmate has been charged with exposing himself, urinating on the floor, throwing his urine at a man, damaging a window and throwing fluids at guards, court records show.

Terrence Williams, 25, of Joliet, has been in the jail since June 1. Since then, he has been charged with public indecency, disorderly conduct, battery, aggravated battery, criminal damage to property and aggravated battery to a correctional officer after incidents at the jail, court records show.

Williams’ latest charges allege he exposed himself Monday while in the day room at the jail and then touched himself, according to a criminal complaint.

Williams was arrested June 1 after he was found hiding behind a dumpster at Motel 6, 1850 McDonough St., with a stolen, loaded firearm nearby, Joliet police said.

He faces charges of possession of a stolen firearm, possession of weapon by a felon and criminal trespass to a residence in connection with the incident. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Williams damaged a window June 27 at the jail, according to a criminal complaint.

Williams was charged with throwing a container “with unknown fluids from his cell toilet” that hit a guard in the face July 4 and throwing “a container with yellow liquid” that hit another guard in the face July 26.

Williams was charged with exposing himself and urinating on the floor July 9 and throwing urine on a man July 28.

On Thursday, Judge Dan Rippy found he had a bona fide doubt about Williams’ fitness and ordered him to submit to a fitness evaluation, court records show.
