Nine of the people face felony aggravated battery of a police officer charges, and the other four face misdemeanor charges, including assault of a police officer and disorderly conduct. Bonds set for the people ranged from $3,000 to $175,000.
Those facing charges range in age from 18 to 36. Most are from the West Side, but their hometowns also include Bridgeview and Romeoville.
According to prosecutors and arrest reports, police were responding to a call of loud music coming from a home in the 2800 block of West 25th Street.
When they arrived on the scene, they encountered an “ongoing gang disturbance” outside the home where a party was taking place. When the officers tried to disperse the partygoers, the crowd became hostile and began throwing beer bottles, beer cans, and other objects at the police.
Several officers suffered injuries after being struck by cans and bottles.
The officers injured were all treated and released, police said; the most seriously injured had been hit over the head with a bottle.
Police initially were called for a complaint about loud music, followed quickly by another report about a fight, police said.
Officers from the Ogden and Harrison police districts were among those who responded to the fight, which happened on the border between the two districts.
Those facing felony charges were: Santiago Torres, 29, of the 2500 block of South St. Louis Avenue; Michael Torres, 23, also of the 2500 block of South St.; Lino Perez, 26, of the 700 block of South Belmont St. in Romeoville; Magalis Davile, 29, of the 6200 block of South Parkside Avenue; Lino Ruiz, 25, of the 2800 block of West 25th Street; Alejandro Rabago, 22, of the 5100 block of South Kildare Avenue; Jose Garcia, 18, of the 2300 block of South Trumbull Street; Roberto Tejada, 36, of the 1900 block of West 17th Street; and Emilio Izaguirre, 30, of the 1700 block of West 21st Place.
In addition to all the bottle-throwing, Santiago Torres was accused of hitting an officer with a shovel. Michael Torres was accused of hitting an officer with a wooden chair.
According to prosecutors, Manuel Torres told an officer “take off that gun and badge and I’ll [expletive] you up.”
