Joliet Ex-Con Jailed on Robbery Charge

A two-time loser freed from prison just three months ago was jailed Thursday night on a robbery charge.

Steven Gutierrez, 29, was booked into the Will County jail shortly after 7 p.m. He was arrested about an hour and a half earlier at his North Prairie Street home.

City police identified Gutierrez as “Steven Montello.” Records from Will County and the Illinois Department of Corrections said his last name is actually Gutierrez.

The Joliet police provided no information on the robbery allegedly committed by Gutierrez and the criminal complaint accompanying his case was not on file at the Will County Circuit Clerk’s Office.

Gutierrez got out of Western Illinois Correctional Center after serving two years and two months for being a felon in possession of a firearm. He was previously sentenced to 10 years in prison for attempted murder.

Gutierrez’s bond was set at $200,000.
