Wednesday's hearing at the Will County Courthouse was delayed until Thursday, that way the judge could provide a Punjabi interpreter for Singh, the court files show.

According to Plainfield police officials, on September 17 the officers responded to a residence on the 12600 block of South Potomac Drive for a welfare check after receiving a 911 call of a
female screaming. While responding, dispatch advised that an adult female victim had sustained a laceration to her neck.

Upon arrival, officers located an adult female and a juvenile female in the roadway in front of the residence. Both victims had lacerations to their bodies and officers immediately provided medical care until Plainfield Fire transported them to a local hospital for treatment.

The adult female informed officers that the incident began as a verbal argument inside the residence involving an adult male. At some point, the confrontation became physical, resulting in knife-related injuries to both females, Plainfield police advised. Following the altercation, both victims fled the residence while the man remained inside.

Officers secured a perimeter around the residence and attempted to verbally contact the male. After several
hours, the male exited the residence and was taken into custody by officers. The male was transported to the
hospital.

"This incident is domestic-related, and the investigation is ongoing," Plainfield police advised. "The Plainfield Police Department was assisted during the incident by the Bolingbrook, Channahon, Joliet, Naperville, Romeoville and Shorewood Police Departments, as well as the Will County Sheriff's Office."

Singh also spent May 29-31 in the Will County jail and then he was back there again June 1-4. Both of those arrests over the summer were made by Plainfield police as well.
