Woman Admits Throwing Raw Eggs, Salsa On Channahon Man's Driveway, SAFE-T-Act Detention Imposed: Prosecutors

CHANNAHON, IL — When it comes to the Illinois SAFE-T-Act, you never know how Will County's judges are to going to rule. Last week, Will County Judge Chrystel Gavlin ordered a 22-year-old Plainfield woman who was just charged with two misdemeanor counts of violating an order of protection to remain housed in the Will County Jail under the SAFE-T-Act.

The Will County State's Attorney's petition against Marissa Wampole is one of the shortest documents filed in the past three years since the SAFE-T-Act took effect in January 2024. "On or about Feb. 8, 2026, defendant was stopped near (a home in) Channahon and admitted that she had just thrown raw eggs and salsa on the driveway," prosecutors outlined.

Prosecutors then informed Judge Gavlin that Wampole already has two different Will County orders of protection, from Dec. 19 and Nov. 25, surrounding a young man and a young woman who live at that address.

According to one of the orders of protection, last Nov. 3, "I got two texts and one phone call from a random number. She answered the phone and it was her voice. She told me to stop messaging her friends. I don't even know who her friends are," the victim who filed that order of protection wrote.

Then, on Halloween, "Marissa hit me in the chest," the same female victim wrote in her order of protection. "She was trying to make me angry. I filed a police report. She goes to my house (unannounced) and tries to get in."

The other victim, a man in his 20s, wrote in his order of protection that on Nov. 6, "Marissa has been contacting me via messages, off of different numbers. And then she says I'm harassing her.

"Marissa can be physically abusive. I have video of her assaulting me. She punched me on my body and slapped me in the face," the man wrote in his order of protection. "I never reported it, believing it would only be a one-time thing. Marissa has also been contacting family members of mine. Marissa has keyed my car, Marissa and I are broke up, I want her to leave me alone and stay away from me and my family."

Back in November, Channahon Deputy Police Chief Craig Gunty filed a criminal complaint against Wampole, charging her with aggravated battery, two crimes of attempted fleeing or attempting to elude a peace officer and one crime of resisting arrest.

The criminal complaint indicates that on Halloween, Wampole attacked the same woman who later obtained the order of protection against her; she then drove her 2016 Jeep Patriot along Highland Drive in Channahon as officers were chasing after her, increasing her speed at a rate of at least 21 mph over the legal speed limit.

One of the other charges indicates that Wampole disobeyed at least two or more traffic control devices as she sped away from the Channahon police officers giving chase. The resisting arrest charge indicates that she struggled with Officer Jeff Kirkolis during her Halloween arrest.

Judge Gavlin's decision to impose the SAFE-T-Act against Wampole means the Plainfield woman may stay in the Will County Jail for the next several months while her criminal cases at the courthouse are pending.

As for Wampole, she has remained in the county jail since her most recent Channahon police arrest, which was the morning of Feb. 8.
