LaSalle Police Case #LA21-9894

Just before 11:00 PM on October 30th, 2021, LaSalle Police Officers were summoned to a disturbance at a location in the 6500 block of Malden Road. When officers arrived they located a large party underway with an estimated 100 – 150 people in attendance. As officers were dealing with the partygoers and shutting down the party they were informed of a fight that had erupted inside the facility. Just as they were entering, one person was assisted outside who was bleeding profusely from the head after being struck by an object that was thrown. The officers attended to this male’s injuries and immediately contacted paramedics. Another officer entered the facility to investigate the fighting and was struck in the head with a piece of cement that was thrown. Both the injured person and the officer suffered a significant laceration and required medical assistance. They were both transported to the hospital and were later released.

In the ensuing investigation, officers were able to identify the person, a young, adult male from Windsor, who threw the pieces of cement which caused the injuries to the initial injured person and the officer. He was arrested without incident and is currently charged with Assault with a Weapon and Assault with a Weapon on a Peace Officer.
