An obnoxious woman was loitering at a gas station in Joliet. The clerk told her to leave, and the suspect refused. She then walked over to the victim and threw a couple of cups of coffee at her. The clerk suffered a second-degree burn. The gas station employee called the cops. When they arrived, they found the trespassing lady hanging out in the parking lot, so they arrested her.

A 41-year-old woman from Berwyn who spent two days in the Will County Jail in connection with allegations of throwing hot coffee on an employee at Joliet's BP Gas Station at 1415 Plainfield Road has regained her freedom thanks to Will County Associate Judge Derek Ewanic.

 

 

The victim in the case suffered second-degree burns and needed to be taken by a Joliet Fire Department ambulance to St. Joe's hospital, according to court files.

 

Prosecutors noted that Duarte walked away but was located nearby and actually ran into traffic on Plainfield Road.
