Man Fights Joliet Police Officers and Bites a St. Joseph Doctor



            Love Walker, a 39-year-old Joliet man, was arrested and booked into the Will County Jail on November 27, 2020 following multiple physical altercations. According to the Joliet Police, they responded to a disturbance call on Thanksgiving night around 11:15 p.m. where Walker and his neighbor had gotten into a verbal altercation. For Walker, this altercation would lead to him putting an officer in a headlock, biting a St. Joseph Doctor, and biting an officer in the leg before being taken straight to the Will County Jail. 

            According to a police report, when the officers arrived on the scene “Walker was involved in a verbal altercation with his neighbors and was walking towards them in an aggressive manner.” The police report goes on to explain that as officers tried to gain control of the situation, Walker ran back towards his own home and pushed an officer in the process. According to the police report Walker “placed the officer in a headlock. An arriving officer on scene then deployed a taser on Walker and he was placed into custody without further incident.”

            A Joliet Fire Department ambulance was tasked with taking Walker to the AMITA Health St. Joseph Medical Center, which would take care of whatever injuries he suffered during the altercation with police. According to Joliet police, “while being treated at the hospital, Walker bit the hand of an emergency room doctor, causing serious injury. Walker was released from the hospital a short time later.”

            Following his release from St. Joseph hospital, Walker was uncooperative and refused to get into a Joliet Police car, which would take him to the downtown Joliet police station for booking. The police report goes on to explain that, “while Walker was still on a hospital gurney, he bit the leg of an officer, causing minor injury. Walker was then transported to the Will County Jail after refusing to cooperate with booking procedures at the Joliet Police Department.” Will County Jail’s information logs show that Walker’s bail has been set at $250,000.

First Lion Electric School Bus in Joliet

 Noëllie Inard Credit: www.chicagotribune.com  On Wednesday, November 2nd, Lion Electric announced the end of the production of its first LionC zero-emission electric school bus at its Joliet factory. In May 2021, Lion Electric, a Canadian-based manufacturer of commercial vehicles, selected Joliet to hold its future US manufactory due to a growing demand for electric school buses in the United States. Lion Electric positioned itself to help school districts with the transition to electric buses with the help of the EPA Clean Bus Program which funded the project with $5 billion. The EPA Clean Bus Program is part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, a law that the Congress recently passed under President Joe Biden and which aimed to invest “ in [the] nation’s infrastructure and competitiveness,” according to the White House. The company’s efforts have paid off since they have now 700 electric vehicles on the road.       Lion Electric promised on January 2022...
