Wilmington Man, 38, Faces Disorderly Conduct Charge: Complaint

WILMINGTON ? The Will County State's Attorney's Office of Jim Glasgow has filed two criminal charges this week against 38-year-old Wilmington resident Jimmy Rodgers, who was taken to the Will County Jail by the Wilmington police last weekend.

The complaint charges Rodgers with disorderly conduct and assault. According to the complaint, Rodgers, on Sunday, knowingly yelled and struck the outside of his neighbor's door in "such an unreasonable manner as to alarm or disturb another."

As for the assault charge, Rodgers is accused of knowingly engaging in conduct that placed another person in reasonable apprehension of receiving a battery, "in that said defendant struck (the victim's) apartment door and threated to beat him," the court records show.

Will County Judge Derek Ewanic ruled that Rodgers is not charged with a detainable offense, therefore the Wilmington's release from jail was ordered. Rodgers must not leave the state of Illinois without permission from a judge and he is to have no contact with the Wilmington of his that he is accused of threatening violence, court records note.

Jail records indicate that Rodgers lives in the apartment units in the 100 block of South First Street. He was in the Will County Jail three different times in 2023.
