Aggravated Battery (Felony) – Motion to Quash And Suppress Evidence Granted

My client was charged with Aggravated Battery. He was accused of striking an individual at a bar numerous times with a beer bottle. The victim suffered numerous injuries and required multiple stitches in his head. The Morton Grove Police Department came to my clients house in Melrose Park approximately thirty (30) days later to arrest him. At the police station, my client gave incriminating statements against himself regarding the battery that he allegedly committed. I filed a motion to quash the arrest based upon the fact that the officers arrested him in his home with no warrant and outside of their jurisdiction. At the hearing, during cross-examination, I made the officer admit that my client was taken in custody immediately without asking my client any questions first. The judge agreed with my arguments and granted my motion to quash arrest and suppress the statements made by my client.
