Victim Hit With Piece Of Wood At Mimis Liquors On Joliet's Cass Street: Police

JOLIET, IL ? One of Joliet's most arrested women in recent years, 38-year-old Patricia Bridges, is back in the Will County Jail in connection with a vicious attack upon another woman at Mimis Liquors store at 453 Cass Street, the Joliet Police announced.

Joliet police spokesman Dwayne English told Joliet Patch that Bridges now faces three crimes of aggravated battery after being captured earlier this week.

Back on Oct. 17, at 4:48 p.m., Joliet's officers responded to Mimis for a battery complaint. According to police, while one woman stood in the parking lot talking to another person, Bridges approached her and began yelling obscenities at her over issues with a past relationship.

Bridges then allegedly picked up a piece of wood from the ground and struck the woman in the head with it, knocking her to the ground, English said. Bridges is then accused of kicking the victim twice in the face while she was on the ground before fleeing.

This week, Joliet's detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Bridges on the three counts of aggravated battery on October 27.

Bridges was placed into custody after the officers found her back in the 400 block of East Cass Street at 9:53 a.m. Tuesday. She was processed at the Joliet Police Department and then transferred to the Will County Adult Detention Facility, where she remained on Halloween.
