2 Arrests At Hollywood Casino During Scuffle With Security Guard: JPD

JOLIET, IL — A 25-year-old Joliet man named Devonte Turner and 23-year-old Aspen Kenney, of Joliet, were arrested at the Hollywood Casino over the weekend as Joliet police say the pair of young adults attacked the security guards at the casino.

Kenney was released on a Notice to Appear on charges of aggravated battery to private security and Turner went to the Will County Jail because he had multiple warrants out for his arrest, according to the arrest logs. He was also charged with aggravated battery to private security.

Joliet police say the incident happened at 3:55 a.m. on Sunday.

According to Joliet police spokesman Dwayne English:

• Officers responded to Hollywood Casino at 777 Hollywood Boulevard for a security guard being attacked by two casino patrons.
• Officers learned that security guards saw a man in an argument with a woman on the casino floor. A casino security guard tried to stop the disturbance, and that's when Turner ignored commands from the security guard. Next, the security guard tried to detain Turner, and that's when the Joliet man punched the security guard in the chest.
• While the security guard continued trying to detain Turner, Kenney hit the Hollywood Casino guard in the head.
• Both Turner and Kenney were then detained for Joliet police, who placed both into custody without incident. Turner held two active Will County arrest warrants for failing to appear in court on previous domestic battery and traffic charges.
