5 Adults, 4 Juveniles Accused In Attack On Carol Stream Resident

CAROL STREAM, IL — Five adults and four juveniles are facing multiple charges after police say they forced their way into a home in the 100 block of Quail Run and attacked a man.

Anais Nova, 30, of Joliet, Raymundo Franco, 37, of Waukegan, Patricia Soto, 55, of Berwyn, Tremaine Dantzler, 28, of Lockport and Luis Pozuelos, 28, of Joliet were all charged with criminal trespass to a residence and mob action. Dantzler and Pozuelos were also charged with aggravated battery.

Police say that on Dec. 1 at around 10:30 p.m., they were called to the above location for a report of a stabbing. They arrived at the scene to find five people with stab wounds.

After an investigation, police say they learned that Leslie Hernandez and Tyler Goorley were home at their apartment when Soto, Hernandez's mother, and Franco, Hernandez's brother, came to the home and had a conversation outside the apartment with Hernandez.

Nova, Hernandez's sister, along with Dantzler and Pozuelos, arrived at the apartment a short time later, police say. According to police, the conversation escalated and Nova pushed her way into the apartment, followed by Dantzler and Pozuelos.

Pozuelos and Dantzler are accused of hitting and kicking Goorley as the argument continued. Police say Soto, Franco and four juveniles entered the apartment. Goorley is said to have grabbed a knife off the kitchen counter and begun swinging it in self-defense.

Goorley called 911 and was taken to a local hospital, where he was treated for injuries and released. Pozuelos and the four juveniles were taken to a local hospital, treated and released as well.

“I would like to thank the Carol Stream Police Department for their work in quickly responding to a situation that could have gotten out of hand very easily,” DuPage County State's Attorney Robert Berlin said in a statement.
