Officers deployed a Taser to apprehend a man in Joliet who was wanted on several new retail theft charges after he pleaded guilty last year to stealing wigs from a Joliet store, court records show.

Romeoville police officers made the arrest last week after they were provided information about the suspect from the Tallahassee Police Department in Florida.

An ex-convict charged with attempting to sexually assault a woman last year in Joliet and attempting to escape from police now faces more charges of sexual assault in a new case filed in Will County.
