GENEVA, IL — The Geneva Police Department responded to these recently reported crime incidents:

Domestic battery:

Jacob F. Hoffrage, 23, from the 100 block of Ridge Lane in Geneva, is facing domestic battery charges stemming from a Saturday incident at a home at the above address. According to the police report, officers were called to the home, and arrived to hear yelling coming from an open window in the front of the home. Police said officers could hear a male yelling obscenities and breaking things inside the home, and a witness opened the front door and invited police inside. Once inside, police saw a victim standing in the front room with a bloody nose. The victim said her son (Hoffrage) was upset about losing a video game and was out of control, and added that her son was also highly intoxicated as he'd been drinking a large amount of alcohol.

According to police, Hoffrage continued screaming and breaking things before officers were able to grab him, despite his attempts to pull away while yelling and flailing his arms. Police took him into custody and took him to the Geneva Police Department. He was later taken to the Kane County Jail in St. Charles, where he was held for bond to be set by a judge, according to police. His court date is pending.

Warrant arrest: Violating an order of protection

A homeless woman is being held on $50,000 bond in the Kane County Jail and faces a felony violation of an order of protection charge, according to police. Bianca Allen, 31, also faces a misdemeanor assault charge. Both charges stem from an incident at a home in the 0-99 block of Briar Lane, according to the police report. The violation of an order of protection charge follows previous violation incidents, including one on Jan. 6 at the same address, where a victim met police and handed them a copy of the order of protection against Allen, who's accused of coming to the home that day, knocking on the door, and entering without the victim's consent.

Allen is expected to appear in court Thursday in Kane County.

Unlawful sale of vape tobacco products to person under 21

An employee at a vape shop in Geneva was cited Wednesday after admitting to illegally selling a vape cartridge to a person under 21 years old without verifying the customer's age. According to police, the customer's parent told police her ex-husband found their daughter in possession of electronic vaporizer (vape) products Tuesday from 312 Vape, in the 600 block of West State Street. The next day, the daughter was asked to go back to the shop as part of a police investigation, and try to illegally purchase products from the store, which she was able to do, according to the police report. Police said according to the young customer, the cashier never asked her to show him id or proof that she was of age, and that she's made multiple illegal transactions of tobacco vape products in the past.

Police received the transaction receipt via email and went to confront the cashier, 24-year-old Faiz NMN Ahmed, of the 25000 block of Presidential Avenue in Plainfield. According to police, Faiz said he believed she was a "regular customer" who's provided him proof she was 21 years old in the past.

Faiz was advised by police that he would receive two O-Tickets for his illegal sale of vape products to someone under 21. Police also learned Faiz had a failure to appear warrant out of DuPage County for a traffic offense, and was arrested and taken to the Geneva Police Department. He was released after posting bond for his warrant, according to police.
