Budget Inn Aggravated Assault Arrest Made By Joliet Police

JOLIET, IL — A 36-year-old Joliet man was arrested early Tuesday morning after Joliet police say the intoxicated man created multiple disturbances throughout the night at the Budget Inn, and that he tried to punch one of the officers.

Now, Ryan L. Johnson remains in the Will County Jail facing charges of aggravated assault to a peace officer and criminal trespass to property.

Earlier Monday night, Joliet police said officers went to the Budget Inn at 1805 McDonough St. for a call involving Johnson that did not result in an arrest. Instead, the earlier call resulted in Johnson being taken by Joliet Fire Department ambulance to AMITA Health St. Joseph Medical Center "due to his level of intoxication," police said.

According to police, "Johnson returned to the Budget Inn Express after release from the hospital an hour later and was again causing a disturbance at the hotel. Johnson refused numerous commands by officers to leave the premises at which time he swung at an officer, not making contact."

The incident that resulted in Johnson's arrest happened around 3:40 a.m.

When Joliet officers took Johnson to the ground and put him in handcuffs, Johnson suffered a cut to his forehead, police said.

Will County Jail logs listed Johnson as being a resident of the 300 block of Joliet's Ruby Street.
