Bolingbrook Woman Faces 5 Charges In Joliet Stabbing

BOLINGBROOK, IL — A 34-year-old woman from Bolingbrook remains incarcerated in the Will County Jail in connection with allegations she stabbed a woman in the neck in Joliet in late November.

Victoria Hicks, of Rockhurst Road, has remained in custody since her arrest on Nov. 24. She remains unable to post 10 percent of her $100,000 bail, jail logs reflect. The Will County State's Attorney's Office has charged Hicks with five crimes: two counts of aggravated domestic battery and three counts of aggravated battery.

The criminal complaint states that Hicks caused great bodily harm to a woman who was a family or household member "in that she stabbed (the woman) about the neck," on Nov. 24. Another charge accuses Hicks of stabbing the woman about the body. The Joliet Police Department made the arrest and conducted the investigation.

One of the charges indicates Hicks committed the non-fatal stabbing while the victim was in a public way, near the corner of McDonough and Emery Streets.

Hicks was also in the Will County Jail from Sept. 25 until Oct. 12 after the Will County Sheriff's Office arrested her on charges of resisting arrest and possession of controlled substances, jail records reflect. For that case, the Bolingbrook woman's bail was set at $10,000.
