Woman Choked At Marathon Gas Station In Joliet: Police

JOLIET, IL — A 35-year-old Joliet man from the east side is now in the Will County Jail after Joliet police say Ervin Murry attacked a woman he knows at the Marathon Gas station at 324 South Larkin Ave. Murry tried to strangle her, according to police spokesman Dwayne English.

Murry was taken from the scene in handcuffs on felony aggravated domestic battery charges.

According to English:

Joliet police were called to the Marathon gas station and that's where officers learned that Murray and a woman were inside a vehicle in the Sam’s parking lot across the street when the domestic trouble began.

Murray grew angry and began punching the victim in the face multiple times. Murray also choked the victim. The victim then drove to the gas station to call 911. Murray was placed into custody without incident, English noted.

Murry comes from the 1800 block of East Washington Street.
