JOLIET, IL — A 22-year-old Joliet man who lives in the 400 block of West Bellarmine Drive faces charges of aggravated domestic battery after Joliet police say Kimani Johnson tried to strangle a woman from Middletown, Ohio on Monday. Will County prosecutors have charged Johnson with two counts of aggravated battery and one count of domestic battery. Johnson knows the victim, according to court documents. The complaint states that the Bellarmine Drive resident tried to strangle the woman and "he struck (her) about the face causing injury to her eye." A Will County judge set bail at $50,000, and Johnson is prohibited from traveling to Middleton, Ohio, to see the victim, according to the conditions of his bail imposed by the judge.
