Man Threatened Woman With Gun, Shoved Her Into Door Frame: Police

BOLINGBROOK, IL — When police arrived at a home on Woodcreek Drive around 9 p.m. Wednesday on a domestic battery call, they found no indication of a physical altercation. A man and woman refused help. But when police returned 25 minutes later, they heard screaming and later arrested a Montgomery man, officials said.

Police were told that after they left the apartment the first time, 39-year-old Vernon J. Jones shoved a woman into a door frame and hit her in the face, officers told Patch. Police said she didn't require medical help.

Police also alleged Jones threatened the woman with a handgun, which officers said they found on the scene.

Jones, of the 2400 block of Prairie Crossing Drive in Montgomery, was charged with two counts of domestic battery, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, unlawful possession of ammunition, and obstructing a police officer.

He was taken to the Will County Adult Detention Facility.
