Shorewood Man Hits Police Officer With Cell Phone: Complaint

SHOREWOOD, IL — For the second time this year, Shorewood police have taken 29-year-old David Gregory into custody. During last week's arrest, Gregory attacked one of the officers, hitting him in the head with a cell phone, according to the criminal complaint.

The Will County State's Attorney's Office of Jim Glasgow has filed three charges against Gregory, who lives in the 700 block of South Raven Road. Gregory faces aggravated battery, domestic battery and battery charges. The incident resulting in his arrest happened July 19.

According to prosecutors, Gregory attacked a woman who is a member of his family or household by pushing her body. When police arrived at his house, Gregory attacked the officer using his cell phone, the charges reflect.

Now, a week later, Gregory remains in the Will County Jail facing a $25,000 bail.

In the event he posts bond, Gregory must stay away from the woman, and he must stay away from his residence on South Raven Road, court documents show.

On Feb. 1, Joliet Patch reported that Gregory, then 28, was booked into the Will County Jail after Shorewood police say he threw a woman to the ground inside his house after throwing a dining room chair at her and threatening to stab her in the heart.

During the altercation in the home, Gregory threatened the woman, throwing a dining room chair at her and missing, which left a hole in the wall, according to police.

Gregory also grabbed a knife used to open envelopes, raising it into the air, deputy police chief Eric Allen said at the time. The Shorewood man grabbed the woman, dragged her to the ground and threatened to stab her in the heart, Allen said.

In that case, Gregory spent a week in the Will County Jail before posting 10 percent of his $10,000 bail. Gregory is now charged with aggravated assault using a deadly weapon, resisting arrest and domestic battery.

That case is scheduled for a Will County jury trial in Courtroom 801 on Oct. 3.
