Pregnant Woman Kicked in Stomach, Chased with Meat Cleaver, Police Say
The attack was triggered when the victim didn't side with Meghan Lello in a fight Lello was having with her husband, the Will County Sheriff's Office says.
A Joliet woman allegedly tore her pregnant friend's earlobe, kicked her in the stomach and came after her with a meat cleaver, all because the victim took the wrong side in a domestic dispute, police said.
Meghan Lello, 23, was charged with aggravated battery to a pregnant woman Thursday in connection with the vicious physical attack that took place shortly after midnight, Will County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said.
Sheriff's deputies were called to Lello's 211 Louis Road home to deal with a fight between Lello and her husband that had spiraled out of control, Hoffmeyer said.
The 24-year-old friend's mistake was to "side with the husband instead of (Lello)," apparently making Lello incensed, she said. That's when the fight became physical.
Lello is accused of tearing the woman's earlobe by pulling her earring off, pushing her to the ground and kicking her in the stomach area, Hoffmeyer said.
When Lello went to the kitchen to retrieve a meat cleaver, the victim escaped to a bathroom and locked herself inside, she said. Lello then tried to break the door by pounding on it with the cleaver, she said.
The victim was taken to Provena St. Joseph Medical Center to be examined and to have her earlobe stiched, Hoffmeyer said. No information was available on the condition of the woman or her unborn child.
Lello's bond was set at $5,000. It hadn't been paid as of 9 p.m. Thursday.

Yeah $5,000 so 10% that's $500 to get out...But $150,000 for a guy caught with marijuana..and a 2 years sentence to follow...Or how about the guy I always mention Jeff...Lockport police shot and killed him after he bailed out for $300 on a domestic and went home and killed his wife.....What the hell is the matter with the Judges in Will county and the politicians? Who the hell is setting the standards....Pretty soon in will county it will be 10 years for stealing a piece of candy and $300 dollar fine for carjacking...I mean WTH..is there no common sense in thoes buildings downtown..have you all locked yourself in a room too long? Eating the effects of solitary confinement and losing your Fing minds?...people in jail for 2 years with no bail for driving to work on suspended and people who been committing worse crimes get bail and court supervision...and we wonder why the crime rate just keeps on climbing...or maybe this is what Will county wants just like Obama total chaos so they can create more laws to put mor people in jail to collect more money...I saw them remove the bail of a kid who had to take a urine test to bail out of jail.everyone knows its 30 days after arrest is usually your first court date..All the politicians,the Judges the cops and the citizens know this kid was not going to pass the test he was just arrested for marijuana...the judge had him thrown in jail on his court date and bail removed.told him see you in 28 to 35 days..To keep his bail.

Third my father did 18 months for driving on suspended in centrellia,I have a cousing that we to to Vandellia for driving on suspended and lead to a revocation of his license..guess where he is at right now...In will county jail for 6 months because he was driving his work truck to work and got pulled over....Now why don't you take your A$$ down to the court house and just go to court room 305 buddy and just listen to that judge....Domestic violence $300 to get out....Get caught with wee like my uncle who is in prison right now for 2 oz of marijuana...he got $150,000 bail means he needed $15,000 to walk....Just look up the guy Jeff I used to work with him at Laser construction...The Lockport police shot him A$$hole..or are you too busy to give a crap...Are you too busy with your life that you do not care unless it has something to do with you? Like most people they find put it is too late when it is their ass on the line....I speak from experience...I have lived on Both sides of the law before..not just a person that tries to understand..I have been a part of the judicial system my self bud...You obviously have no clue as to how or what they are doing down town..it's free go listen...Especially in room 305 ....the grammar police...is that all ya got...get real and serious bud..

Have you ever asked yourself WTH is going on with this world? Well go to some of the courtrooms and see for your self...and you will see all kinds of retarded decisions from these judges...it's ok for you to beat your wife it's only $300 to get out...and what did that teach the abusive spouse? Nothing but it got will county some money..Did that money go to the victim? No did it go to the community? No it went to the court house...what is going on with this world is played out in the courthouse bud..laws are made by politicians and interpreted by the courts...we learned that in grade school bud....now I can give a couple of names to back my stories bud and tell you courtrooms,and incidents...it's called knowledge of the system..not how it is supposed to be..but how it is being used..I am telling you I sat right behind this kids parents..and they cried their eyes out..they know the dirty trick that Will county played...they bailed him out and he had to take a urine test upon release..did you know you have to..probably not...well if he got arrested for smoking pot we all know he wasn't going to pass it and when he went to court 2 weeks later the judge had him thrown in jail and bail taken..now you keep on saying it didn't happen...until you see one of your friends or family go thought it then you can complain and stand up...I saw what I saw I heard what I heard and I know the people I speak of...you obviously don't know S.it.

Ok I can do ya better than at bud....On parole and get caught driving on suspended going to work...First you go back to prison on a violation of parole so if you have 5 years parole your gone and you serve it.plus you get the additional charge which becomes enhanced because you are already in trouble and you get a couple of years added on to your 5 years...But I guess that don't happen huh?...I have seen people arrested with guns their not supposed to have get less time.. It hey ignore all of this stuff I have seen first hand from friends,family,to even going down and just listening to the decisions the judges make....let's talk about my grammar....which you spelled wrong...A$$

Depends why the drivers license was suspended in the first place. I work with a lady who does heroin - her license was suspended for driving while on drugs and injured another person. She continues to drive often getting arrested missing days of work but right back on the street to drive over and over. Yet, she still keeps her job and still has money for drugs. Now then judge asked if she wanted 6 months in jail or 30 days rehab. She took the rehab but dropped out after 5 days. It must be decided case by case.

I agree..mandatories are dangerous...we create a group of people not a treatment plan...drinking and driving yeah 20 years next to the guy who got 20 years for killing someone while drinking and driving...Just not right...judgement needs to fit individual..not a group.

Okay I will give you the grammar thats pretty funny, as for the rest it's still a lot of BS.
If you think you have all the facts by sitting in a courtroom you are a fool, does the judge have you come up and read "priors" over his shoulder? I am sure there are plenty of cases where you are correct, the punishment does not fit the crime, like your uncle with the wee, which I am sure is IPAD for weed. I have spent plenty of time in a court room, it does not make me a judge. Maybe you should study law instead of sitting in a court room for no reason, I am sure you would work full time just keeping your family out jail....okay BUD?
