Wheaton Man Accused Of Home Invasions, Attacking Residents: Report

WHEATON, IL — A Wheaton man has been accused of breaking into his neighbor's home before breaking into his own old home in Lisle, attacking the residents of each home and trying to kiss them, the Daily Herald reports.

Frank E. Williams, Jr. 44, has been charged with two counts of home invasion causing injury. On Jan. 6, Circuit Judge Ann Celine O'Hallaren Walsh ordered Williams to undergo a psychiatric evaluation, according to DuPage County court records.

Prosecutors say Williams broke into his neighbor's Dover Court apartment early Thursday, pushed the woman, 64, onto a bed and tried to kiss her before she was able to escape to a neighbor's apartment. According to police, he said he was trying to save the woman from a demon, the Daily Herald reported.

The incident brought several officers to the area of Dover and Lakecliffe on Thursday morning, Patch previously reported. Nearby Briar Glen Elementary School was placed on a "secure and teach" advisory as a precaution.

After Williams left Wheaton, police say he drove to his former home on East Lake Drive in Lisle, where he forced his way inside and ran at the current resident with a knife, causing minor cuts.

He is currently being held in DuPage County Jail without bond. His next court appearance is scheduled for Feb. 8, and a public defender has been appointed to represent him, according to court records.
