JOLIET, IL — Will County Judge Fred Harvey issued a felony arrest warrant last week for 18-year-old Joliet resident Donta Bailey in connection with two counts of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon. Bailey lives in the 300 block of Union Street. Last May, Joliet Patch reported that Bailey's house was the location of a Joliet police raid. Six loaded handguns, two other guns and a rifle were seized by Joliet police, Sgt. Dwayne English announced at the time. According to the Jan. 18 criminal complaint of Joliet Police Detective Ray Jansma, Bailey had a Glock 22 .40-caliber semi-automatic gun on Jan. 14 and "he had not been issued a currently valid license under the Firearm Concealed Carry Act and ... had not been issued a currently valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card." Back in August, Joliet Patch reported that Joliet police raided a house in the 300 block of Union Street in search of guns and evidence linking people at the house to the ongoing PPP loan scam within the Will County Jail. The house was occupied by Konika Morrow and her two sons, Donta Bailey and Adrian Bailey, the civil forfeiture stated. Joliet Police Detective James Kilgore helped search the house "during which numerous documents were recovered reference unemployment claims for Donta and Adrian Bailey as well as PPP loan documents of Adrian Bailey," the complaint outlined. "The amount of the PPP loan was for $20,605." As of Jan. 23, Donta Bailey had not been taken into custody by Joliet police in connection with the two felony weapons charges.
