One Of The Love Brothers Gets Arrested At Thorntons: JPD

JOLIET, IL — Joliet Patch has written numerous crime articles this year about the recurring arrests of Thomas Love and his younger brother Kenneth. On Friday night, Joliet police arrested the 36-year-old Thomas Love on charges of criminal trespass to property. He was later let go on an I-Bond.

According to Joliet police reports:

At 11:06 p.m., officers went to the Thornton gas station at 400 Collins Street and learned that the manager wished for Love to leave the property after bothering other customers.

Officers approached Love and requested that he leave, to which he refused. Love then ignored multiple further commands by the officers to leave. He was then placed into custody without incident.

On May 16, Joliet Patch reported that Kenneth Love and his brother Thomas Love, the subjects of multiple Joliet Patch crime stories this year, were arrested again, early Tuesday morning, after one of the brothers grabbed a Thorntons gas station employee by the throat during the theft of four cans of beer, according to Joliet police.

The Love brothers were not taken to the Will County Jail. Instead, Joliet police released the brothers on respective I-bonds.
