A 40-year-old man from Joliet found himself facing several charges after reportedly resisting arrest and trying to kick police officers during a routine traffic stop last week.

According to reports, officers from the Joliet Police Department spotted the driver of a van that reportedly failed to use his turn signal. A traffic stop was initiated, and the driver pulled over without incident. After he stopped the van, instead of staying inside the vehicle, the man allegedly got out and started walking away. The officers verbally tried to get him to stop, but he reportedly completely ignored them.

Before long, the man sat down on the sidewalk and the police were able to approach him. The officers suspected that the man was under the influence of an intoxicant, and they wanted to make sure he settled down. When they tried to grab him the man pulled away and stood up.
