JOLIET, IL — A 38-year-old Joliet man who lives on the city's west side was arrested last weekend after Joliet police say he attacked one of his relatives and then he shoved an officer. Police hauled away Derek Cappleman in handcuffs charging him with aggravated battery, domestic battery and two counts of resisting a peace officer. Saturday's incident happened around 11:15 p.m., in the 2500 block of Caddy Lane, which is where Cappleman resides. Police say he got into an argument with a female acquaintance, and when police arrived, he kept yelling at her and them. When one of Cappleman's relatives arrived at the house to talk with him, Cappleman shoved the man, according to police. "Cappleman shoved an officer who attempted to intervene," police spokesman Dwayne English announced. "Officers attempted to place Cappleman into custody but he resisted by tensing up his arms and trying to pull away. Officers were eventually able to place Cappleman into custody." Cappelman was released from the Will County Jail on Sunday morning, after posting 10 percent of his $3,000 bail.
