Joliet Man Beat Down Mom's Boyfriend in Lemont Animal Doctor's Waiting Room: Cops

A Joliet man wrestled his mother’s boyfriend to the floor of a Lemont animal doctor’s waiting room and then punched the man in the head before he was subdued by other’s visiting the veterinarian with their pets, police said.

Lejuan McShane Jr., 27, was charged with battery in connection with the alleged May 28 dustup in the waiting room of Archer Veterinary Clinic on South Archer Avenue.

McShane’s mother’s 54-year-old boyfriend reportedly took his “very ill” dog to the veterinary clinic and was in the waiting room when McShane and his girlfriend showed up for reasons the police could not explain.

McShane’s girlfriend and his mother’s boyfriend “began arguing and he called her a bitch,” according to police. McShane then allegedly stepped in and the pair fell to “wrestling on the floor” with McShane “punching his mother’s boyfriend.”

McShane and his mother’s boyfriend were separated by others in the waiting room, police said, and the older man was treated by fire department paramedics. He reportedly had a lump on his forehead.
