Fight At Jameson's Pub: Joliet Man, 21, Faces 3 Criminal Charges

JOLIET, IL — A 21-year-old Joliet resident faces a $25,000 bail after Joliet police say Justin Rolan was starting fights and acting rowdy inside Jameson's Pub over the weekend.

Officers got called to the bar in the 2700 block of Black Road and restaurant around 12:45 a.m. Saturday and hauled away Rolan in handcuffs, charging him with aggravated assault on a peace officer and two counts of resisting a peace officer.

"Officers arrived and determined that an intoxicated Rolan was refusing to leave after being told to leave by Jameson’s staff," Joliet police spokesman Dwayne English said.

Rolan was causing disturbances by trying to start fights with other patrons, English noted.

After officers escorted Rolan out of Jameson's Pub, Rolan "acted belligerent toward officers and threatened to strike an officer in the jaw," English said.

As officers attempted to place Rolan into custody, he would not allow them to access to his arms. Rolan was placed into custody following a brief struggle, English indicated.

As officers were driving Rolan to the Joliet Police Department, he began complaining of a medical issue, so officers stopped in the 800 block of Black Road and called for an ambulance.

Rolan was taken to Ascension St Joseph Medical Center by the Joliet Fire Department. He was released from the hospital a short time later and was processed at the Joliet Police Department and then taken to the Will County Adult Detention Facility.

Rolan lives in the 1000 block of North Pearson Drive, which is near Black Road.

He remained in the county jail on Monday morning, unable to post 10 percent of his $25,000 bail.
