Man At CVS Pharmacy On Plainfield Road Faces Assault Charges

JOLIET, IL — A 36-year-old Joliet man was arrested Saturday night at the CVS Pharmacy in the 800 block of Plainfield Road after police say he created a disturbance. After threatening to harm the Joliet police officers, Ryan L. Johnson was taken away in handcuffs and brought to the Will County Jail where he's been charged with aggravated assault, resisting a peace officer and criminal trespass to property.

The incident that led to Johnson's arrest occurred around 7:35 p.m.

"Upon arrival, officers determined that Johnson was making lewd comments to females inside and outside of the store, and he urinated in the parking lot," police reports show. "Johnson had refused to leave when told by store employees. Officers contacted Johnson at which time he refused to follow commands to stop walking away. Officers attempted to place Johnson into custody at which time Johnson attempted to pull away from the officers. Johnson then acted as if he was going to strike an officer on scene."

Officers ultimately succeeded in getting Johnson in handcuffs after he struggled with them, reports show.

Johnson lives in the 300 block of Ruby Street. He remained in detention Monday, unable to post 10 percent of his $20,000 bail.
