A McHenry woman is facing numerous charges for allegedly kicking a police officer in the head and biting a second officer while resisting arrest in McHenry, court records show.
Kathryn Wilschke, 40, of McHenry, was charged with two counts of aggravated battery of a peace officer, battery making physical contact and resisting a peace officer.
Officers with the McHenry Police Department responded around 11:50 a.m. on May 8 to a call of a battery.
The suspect, identified as Wilschke, grabbed a 47-year-old man’s face and punched him in the throat, according to a criminal complaint filed in McHenry County Circuit Court.
Officers attempted to arrest Wilschke but she began resisting while officers tried to handcuff her, the complaint said.
Wilschke kicked, bit, pushed and pulled away from officers, the complaint said.
One officer was bitten in the left shoulder and another officer was kicked in the head by the woman, the complaint said.
Wilschke was eventually taken into custody and transported to the McHenry County Jail.
McHenry County Judge Mark Gerhardt ordered Wilschke held on a $25,000 bond.
Wilschke was released from the jail on May 10 after someone posted 10% of her bond.
Wilschke was arrested for another battery incident in McHenry four days prior to her latest arrest. In that incident, she allegedly spit on a man and bit him before resisting arrest, court records show.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 2.
