Shortly after midnight Monday night, October 31st, Galesburg Police responded to the 600 block of Home Boulevard for a domestic disturbance. A 43-year-old female told police she had just been battered by her 18-year-old stepson. The woman said she saw her stepson near a car in the parking lot, and since he had been arrested in the past for breaking into cars, she confronted him. As the two were walking back inside and arguing, the teen punched the woman numerous times in the face. The woman had a laceration on her forehead from the attack. Officers located the male in the 1400 block of Henderson Street and he took off running from police. After threatening the teen with a taser, he finally complied and sat down in the 1100 block of Hawkinson. The male told police he was looking through his stepmom's car because she asked him to find her purse. The male was transported to the Knox County Jail and charged with Domestic Battery and Resisting a Peace Officer.
Around 4:00 on Saturday morning, October 15th, Galesburg Police were dispatched to the 600 block of Home Boulevard for a domestic disturbance. Officers heard yelling upon arrival. A 32-year-old female subject told police her 28-year-old ex-girlfriend along with two other females broke into her apartment and began battering her and her friend's son. According to police reports, officers had difficulty understanding the events that unfolded due to the female victim's emotional state and her level of intoxication. The 28-year-old female, who was also intoxicated and still on the scene, told police she attempted to retrieve her belongings from the apartment and was trying to do so quietly so as to not wake anyone up. The woman claimed to have a key, but the two juveniles who were present and the only two that were sober told police the woman used a credit card to gain access. The female was placed under arrest and charged with Domestic Battery and Criminal Trespassing.
