Oswego, IL – Oswego Police arrested a 38-year-old man Wednesday afternoon following a reported domestic incident in the 700 block of Spires Drive, according to a department news release.
Authorities said the incident occurred around 3:30 p.m. on January 7, 2026, after officers responded to a home where a female caller reported a domestic disturbance. Upon arrival, police heard screaming from the garage and made contact with a male subject, later identified as Lawrence L. Bradley, who initially cooperated before allegedly slamming a door shut, preventing further access to the residence.
According to Oswego Police, officers heard additional screaming inside and entered the home under exigent circumstances. Bradley was taken into custody and charged with unlawful restraint (Class 4 felony) and obstructing a peace officer (Class A misdemeanor). The Kendall County State’s Attorney’s Office has reportedly approved the additional felony charge.
Bradley was booked at the Oswego Police Department and later transported to the Kendall County Jail, where he awaits a detention hearing scheduled for Thursday, January 8, 2026. Multiple nearby agencies assisted at the scene due to the scale of the response, police said.
Authorities emphasized that all individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
