A warrant has been issued for a convicted felon who is accused of committing a home invasion in Harvard and attacking a victim inside, court records show.
Nicholas A. Lopez, 28, of Woodstock, was charged with home invasion causing injury, a Class X felony.
A criminal complaint filed in McHenry County Circuit Court alleges Lopez committed a home invasion around 9:25 a.m. on March 10.
The incident occurred at an apartment in the 1300 block of 7th Street in Harvard.
Lopez knew a man was present inside the home and attacked him upon entering, the complaint said.
The complaint said Lopez struck the victim in the body with a closed fist and bit him in the back.
Lopez also scratched the man in the back and rear upper left arm, the complaint said.
Lopez was charged on March 22 and a warrant was issued for his arrest, court records show.
He remains wanted as of Wednesday. State records show Lopez was released from the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) on March 1, just nine days before the incident occurred.
Lopez is listed as an “absconder” by the IDOC. He served a five-year sentence for manufacturing or delivery of cocaine out of McHenry County and a one-year sentence for domestic battery out of McHenry County.
In 2016, Lopez was arrested for shooting at an occupied residence in Woodstock. He was sentenced to three years in prison in that case.
