Man Charged With Attempted Murder After Injuring Bolingbrook Officer

A Bolingbrook man has been charged with attempted murder with intent to kill or injure stemming from an event last week in the village.

Levan Davis, 21, of Bolingbrook, faces felony charges of attempted murder with the intent to kill/injure (class X felony), aggravated battery against a peace officer (class 2 felony) and aggravated battery with use of a deadly weapon (class 3 felony), officials said.

Bolingbrook Police responded to a home at 364 Walnut Circle at about 9:15 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 7 in reference to a domestic battery involving a father and son.

The father called 911 to report his son was violent and had just tried to attack him. The father told police he believed the son was off his medication and had possibly just smoked marijuana, said Bolingbrook Police Lt. Michael Rompa.

When officers arrived at the home they were attacked by Davis, Rompa said. Davis hit one officer in the head with a metal fence pole, Rompa said.

As Davis tried to hit the officer again, a second officer fired two shots at Davis, Rompa said. After being shot, Davis was taken into custody and taken to a local hospital.

The officer received "severe head wounds" and was treated at a local hospital.

Davis is scheduled to appear in Will County Court at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 15, and being held at the Will County Adult Detention Center on a $1 million dollar bond.
