Kankakee, IL – A Kankakee County man was officially remanded to the Illinois Department of Corrections this week after being sentenced to five years in prison on an aggravated battery charge involving a victim over the age of 60, according to local authorities.
According to the Momence Police Department, officers arrested the man following an investigation into an incident that resulted in serious bodily harm to a senior resident. The Kankakee County State’s Attorney’s Office, led by State’s Attorney Jim Rowe, prosecuted the case. Officials stated that the defendant was found guilty in Kankakee County Court and sentenced earlier this month.
Court and Department of Corrections records show the offense—a Class 2 felony involving great bodily harm to a victim 60 or older—carried a five-year sentence. Custody records indicate the offense date as November 6, 2025. The man was transferred to IDOC on November 21, 2025, and processed at the Northern Reception Center. His projected parole and discharge dates have not yet been determined.
Momence Police publicly thanked the State’s Attorney’s Office for its assistance in the investigation and prosecution, noting the collaborative effort that led to the conviction.
The Illinois DOC listing shows the defendant had been previously paroled in 2017 for an unrelated matter. He will now begin serving his new sentence within the state correctional system. Officials did not release additional details about the circumstances of the assault or the condition of the victim.
Residents in Kankakee County and the surrounding Momence area continue to follow updates closely, as aggravated battery cases involving elderly victims often prompt broader discussions about community safety and support for vulnerable populations.
