DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert B. Berlin and West Chicago Chief of Police Colin Fleury announced today that bond has been set for a West Chicago man charged with attempting to suffocate his mother to death with a pillow while she slept. Bryan Jones, age 39, of the 200 block of Arbor Avenue, appeared at a bond hearing this morning in front of Judge Michael Reidy who set bond at $500,000 with 10% to apply. Jones has been charged with one count of Attempt First-Degree Murder (Class X Felony), one count of Aggravated Domestic Battery (Class 2 Felony) and one count of Aggravated Battery (Class 3 Felony).

On Wednesday, December 22, 2021, officers with the West Chicago Police Department responded to a medical assistance call on Arbor Avenue. Upon their arrival, officers found Jones and his mother at the residence. It is alleged that at approximately 3:22 a.m., Jones entered his mother’s bedroom while she was sleeping, placed a large pillow over her face and held it there. The victim was able to free herself and called police. Jones was taken into custody at this time.

“The allegations against Mr. Jones are very disturbing. We are all grateful that the victim in this case was able to free herself and contact authorities before it was too late. I thank the West Chicago Police Department as well as Assistant State’s Attorney Grace Barsanti for their efforts on this case.”

— DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert B. Berlin

Jones’ next court appearance is scheduled for January 6, 2022, for arraignment in front of Judge Reidy.

Members of the public are reminded that this complaint contains only charges and is not proof of the defendant’s guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial in which it is the government’s burden to prove his or her guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
