JOLIET, IL — An 18-year-old Joliet woman and a 25-year-old Joliet woman were arrested this week by the Will County Sheriff's Office in connection with a non-fatal stabbing in the Preston Heights area. Vanessa Zavala, 25, and Aaliyah Bedolla, 18, both remain incarcerated in the Will County Jail and each of them is charged with two counts of aggravated battery.

A Will County judge set their bail at $25,000. The criminal complaint states that both Bedolla and Zavala stabbed a woman about the body with a knife, causing her great bodily harm, on Monday, Dec. 28.

Joliet Patch has reached out to Will County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Dan Jungles for more information about the circumstances of the crime and the two arrests.
