Home Invasion, 6 Other Charges For Man Wanted By Joliet Police

JOLIET, IL — Joliet police detectives have obtained a warrant for the arrest of 26-year-old Laraysheo Johnson, who's already known around the Joliet police department after spending the entire winter in the Will County Jail facing felony aggravated domestic battery charges.

Last week, Joliet police obtained a new warrant to arrest Johnson, this time in connection with a home invasion that happened Sept. 4 inside an apartment unit in the 400 block of Grant Street, which is on the city's east side.

The complaint states that Johnson remained inside the dwelling and intentionally caused injury to a woman who resides there. Besides the Class X felony, Johnson is also being charged with theft because he obtained control over the woman's iPhone 12 Max, court documents show.

Johnson's third felony charge is domestic battery because he struck the woman about the body; Johnson was also convicted in 2021 in Will County of domestic battery, the complaint noted.

Johnson's fourth and fifth charges are criminal trespass to a residence. His sixth and seventh charges are interfering with the reporting of domestic violence and criminal property damage.

Johnson damaged the window to the Jeep Laredo belonging to the woman he is accused of attacking, court files show.

Will County Judge Ken Zelazo issued last week's arrest warrant for Johnson, who still remains at large. Bail has been set at $150,000.

Johnson's court records indicate he has an address in Chicago in the 100 block of Racine. He is 5-foot-9 and weighs 180 pounds.
