Two Joliet sisters are accused of beating a woman and her young daughter over the weekend as retaliation against the mother for allegedly being romantically involved with a man who fathered a child with one of the suspects, police said.
Deputy Police Chief Mike Trafton said Jessica M. Flores, 27, of the 400 block of Walnut Street, and Sylvia R. Flores, 29, of the 100 block of Bodio Avenue, kicked open the front door at the home on the 1100 block of Ridgewood Avenue in Joliet at 6:50 p.m. and attacked the resident, who was lying on the couch in the living room.
The two sisters also punched an 11-year-old girl and threw her against the wall when the preteen attempted to assist her mother, Trafton said.
Both women are charged with home invasion, residential burglary and aggravated battery to a child, authorities said. Sylvia Flores was being held in the Will County Adult Detention Facility Tuesday in lieu of $200,000 bail. Jessica Flores, who also is charged with criminal trespass to a residence, was being held in the facility in lieu of $250,000 bail, authorities said.
