Minooka Man Arrested At Joliet Bar On Jefferson Street

JOLIET, IL — Sean O'Brien, a 25-year-old Minooka man, is now in the Will County Jail after Joliet police say he attacked other patrons of the Sidelines Sports Bar late Tuesday night, throwing a shot glass across the bar and holding a beer bottle threatening to harm people.

Joliet officers hauled O'Brien away in handcuffs around 11:30 p.m. He was put in the Will County Jail on charges of disorderly conduct, criminal trespass and obstructing a peace officer. He also had an outstanding arrest warrant out of Kendall County.

Joliet police were sent to Sidelines around 11:25 p.m. and officers learned that O'Brien got into a fight with someone in the bar, located at 2006 W. Jefferson St.

"O’Brien was also being aggressive to other customers and threw a shot glass across the bar," Joliet police announced. "He then threatened other bar patrons while holding a beer bottle."

O'Brien was "visibly intoxicated" when Joliet officers pulled him out of the bar, and "he continued to be uncooperative and belligerent with officers," police reports show.

At the time of the Minooka man's arrest, Joliet police realized O'Brien was also wanted on a Kendall County arrest warrant for failing to appear in court on battery charges.

"While being processed at the Joliet Police Department, O’Brien was highly uncooperative with officers and at one point leaned down and intentionally struck his head on a bench. O’Brien was then taken to the Will County Adult Detention Facility," police reports reflect.
