Man Beaten After Inviting Another Home for Some Beers

A St. Charles man who met another man while walking home and invited the guy over for some beer ended up getting punched several times and having his home damaged after his guest became violent, police said.

Kevin Julius Hanson, 29, of the 1400 block of Covington Court, St. Charles, was arrested at 7:06 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 22, 2013 on the 1300 block of South 14th Street on charges of battery, criminal property damage, and resisting a peace officer.

He could not post bond and was held in the Kane County Jail pending a court appearance.

According to the report, officers were called to the South 14th Street home after a report of a disturbance. They arrived to find the resident bleeding from the nose and mouth and telling officers that Hanson had struck him several times, had broken a mirror in his home, and had damaged the drywall.

Hanson also would not leave, the man told officers. He also told police he had never met Hanson before he met him while walking home that evening.

Medics treated the victim, who declined to be transported to Delnor Hospital, police said.

Officers found Hanson in the bedroom of the home, where they observed some broken glass from a mirror and a number of holes in the drywall that appeared to have been punched, according to the report.

Hanson was cursing Satan, called the officers Satan’s soldiers, referred to himself as “king, as in God,” and refusing to cooperate with police. When they informed him they were arresting him, Hanson resisted the officers, the report states.

He was handcuffed and removed from the home and later transferred to the jail.
