DeKALB – A DeKalb County judge on Tuesday set bond three times the amount prosecutors requested for a DeKalb-area man who allegedly violated a restraining order from a relative and threatened to “kill her, kill cops and kill himself,” court documents say.

Daeshawn J. Wooten, 28, whose address was listed as transient, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and domestic battery, both Class A misdemeanors. If convicted of the misdemeanor charges, Wooten could face up to a year in jail.

According to court documents, Wooten allegedly struck the family member in the face with a closed fist on March 26, 2021, in an apartment in the 1300 block of North Annie Glidden Road in DeKalb.

“Wooten fled the scene and was not located,” court documents state. The relative was taken to the hospital for treatment, records state.

On Nov. 30, police allege Wooten threatened to kill the same relative, knocked on their window in the 900 block of Kimberly Drive in DeKalb and the relative allegedly saw Wooten holding what looked like a gun. The relative allegedly told police Wooten did not say anything and then left the area.

According to court documents, Wooten continued to intermittently call the relative for about 30 minutes and during the conversations he was heard saying he wanted to kill the relative, cops and himself.

The relative filed an order of protection against Wooten in November 2021, prohibiting him from coming within 500 feet. According to court documents, Wooten also was charged for failure to appear in court related to a 2018 felony drug court offense.

DeKalb County Judge Philip Montgomery set bond for Wooten at $10,000, with 10% to post, for the two new misdemeanor charges. In court Tuesday, the judge also ordered Wooten to have no contact with the relative.

DeKalb County Public Defender Chip Criswell, who represents Wooten, said in court Tuesday Wooten was willing to serve agreed upon time in the Illinois Department of Corrections for the drug court offense. Criswell said the plan is to have Wooten be sent to prison and then get a status date for the misdemeanor charges after that.

“He’s got a substantial amount of credit, your honor,” Criswell said. “So he won’t be in the Department of Corrections all that long, we don’t think.”

Montgomery said Wooten would be due back in court 1 p.m. Wednesday for the drug court felony charge and set no bond for Wooten for that charge, with the understanding Wooten was going to be sent to prison already. Regarding the two new misdemeanor charges, Montgomery said Wooten would be due back in court 10:15 a.m. March 1.
