JOLIET — The Joliet Police Department made a staggering total of arrests — seven — over the weekend outside the Sidelines Sports Bar in the Marycrest Shopping Center and officers deployed several of their Tasers, zapping at least three people who refused to comply with their commands to obey them, according to the arrest reports.
All the mugshots and accompanying charges are listed at the bottom of this Joliet Patch story. According to Joliet police spokesman Dwayne English, the incident resulted in the arrests of six people from Joliet and one from Shorewood.
According to English, at 1:01 a.m. on Sunday, the officers responded to the parking lot of Sidelines Sports Bar for a report of a large group of people loitering and drinking alcohol in the parking lot. The officers gave multiple commands to people in the parking lot to either go back inside the bar or leave the premises, to which the group ignored and refused to move.
As time went on, English said 27-year-old Eshe Jennings of Joliet pushed an officer with both hands and then as officers tried to place her into custody, it is believed that Jennings’ boyfriend, 33-year-old Anthony Gordan of Joliet, interfered in the arrest by placing his arms around Jennings.

As this was taking place, police said 27-year-old Eric Buford of Joliet jumped from a vehicle and grabbed an officer. Buford then tried to run from officers who deployed a taser and placed him into custody, officials said. According to English, Gordan swung at an officer, but missed, and he was also placed into custody following a struggle. Officers then tried to take 33-year-old Dante Davey of Joliet into custody, but he grabbed onto 25-year-old Sylvanni Davey of Shorewood to defeat the arrest.
Police said officers deployed a Taser and were able to place Dante Davey into custody. Germaine Hearns, 33, of Joliet, also struggled with officers before being taken into custody, according to English.
