The Case of "Booty Call Ninjas"

The below article was posted on 89WLS (a Chicago radio station) on the 18th of June, 2011.  I thought this case was funny because of the offenders' choice of the weapons, although I do (obviously) feel sorry for the victim and wish that it didn't happen.

I'm not sure of the original source (I'm guessing it's the Sun-Times Media), or when exactly it happened.

JOLIET (STMW) - Call it the case of the “Booty Call Ninjas.”

A Joliet man told police he was attacked by two people weilding nunchuks and throwing stars after he showed up for what he thought would be a sexual rendezvous with his ex-girlfriend.

The 44-year-old man called police after getting jumped around 1:15 a.m. in the alley off the 300 block of Youngs Avenue. He said he had called his ex-girlfriend and asked her to come over for sex, and she agreed.

A short time later, Katherine M. Casarez, 29, texted the victim that she was in a nearby alley, police said.

As the man walked to Casarez’s car, a masked man jumped out and hit him in the head with nunchuks, police said. Casarez then grabbed nunchuks of her own and hit the man on the head with them as well.

While investigating the crime scene, police found two throwing stars, including one stuck into a telephone poll.

Casarez, of Joliet, was charged with aggravated domestic battery, aggravated battery, unlawful use of a weapon and armed violence. Police were also seeking a 34-year-old Joliet man for questioning.
