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.
Both Jennings and Gordan continued to resist the officers, who deployed a taser and placed Jennings into custody, according to English.
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.

All were transported to the Joliet Police Department for processing and either released on a Notice to Appear or transferred to the Will County Adult Detention Facility.
