Joliet Man Goes Berserk After Jewel-Osco Theft: Complaint

JOLIET, IL - Moises Cerda has had 15 mugshots taken at the Will County Jail since 2009. Will last week's mugshot be his last? That remains to be seen. This time, the 26-year-old Joliet resident who lives in the 400 block of Harwood Street has landed in serious trouble with Will County's criminal justice system. Last week, on Wednesday, April 11, Cerda visited the Jewel-Osco on West Jefferson Street and tried to swipe a bottle of liquor, the criminal complaint states. But before Cerda made his way out of the store, the Jewel-Osco security force jumped in action. And that's when Cerda put up a fight, according the criminal charges.

Cerda is charged with striking one of the security workers "about the neck" and also "about the body," the complaint states. Cerda also "struck about the head" another Jewel-Osco security member while that man "was detaining the defendant for an alleged commission of retail theft," court documents state.

Cerda finds himself charged with retail theft and three counts of aggravated battery. His bail has been set at $75,000. So far, Cerda has failed to come up with 10 percent to post bond. But if he does, Cerda has been told by a judge that he "shall have no contact with Jewel-Osco."
