JOLIET, IL — A 47-year-old Joliet man who lives in the 600 block of Norton Avenue is now in the Will County Jail after Joliet police say Jorge Medina violated the conditions of his stalking no contact order that was already imposed by a Will County judge.
On Wednesday evening, officers brought Medina to the county jail, where he was charged with violation of a stalking no-contact order.
At 6:23 p.m., squad cars pulled up to the 600 block of Norton Avenue after being notified that Medina had been served with a stalking no-contact order earlier in the day intended to keep him away from the victim's house.
