On August 29, 2025, Travoccia W. Dillard, 25, of Joliet, was arrested,

booked, and transported to the Will County Adult Detention Facility (WCADF) on a charge of Reckless Discharge of a Firearm.

At approximately 1:30 p.m., Joliet officers were dispatched to the 900 block of Ann Street for a report of a neighbor discharging a firearm into the air. Upon arrival, officers learned the incident stemmed from a neighbor dispute in which the suspect went outside and fired one round into the air.

The officers received information that a Joliet resident was visiting someone in the 900 block of Ann Street.

This resident had been involved in a dispute through social media with Dillard. Officers were told that Dillard retrieved a firearm from his residence and fired a shot in the air before retreating inside and changing his clothing.

Officers called Dillard out of the residence, at which time he exited with his girlfriend while holding his infant

child. Dillard was taken into custody and transported to the Joliet Police Department, where he denied firing a firearm earlier in the day.

Evidence of a firearm discharge was located in the 900 block of Ann Street. Dillard was processed and subsequently transported to the WCADF without incident.
