A West Chatham woman was ordered held in lieu of $100,000 bail Sunday after prosecutors say she pepper-sprayed a man and a CTA bus driver.
Johnetta Coley, 22, of the 7900 block of South Lafayette Avenue, was a passenger on the CTA bus in the 7900 block of South Throop Street in the Gresham neighborhood at about 5:36 p.m. Saturday, when she pulled out a handgun and pointed it at a 26-year-old man, said Assistant Cook County State's Attorney Matt Howroyd.
The bus driver pulled over and everyone got off, Howroyd said, but then he allowed everyone to get back on. The driver asked the man to get back on the bus and Coley also came on the bus, spraying the male passenger with pepper spray, which also hit the bus driver, Howroyd said.
The police were called to the scene and saw Coley walking away from the bus and throwing a dark object into the grass, according to Howroyd and court documents.
Soon after, police found a loaded .22-caliber Taurus handgun with four live rounds, according to court documents. The bus driver and another passenger identified Coley, who had a pink Vipertek stun gun and pepper spray in her purse, court documents said.
She was charged with aggravated battery of a transit employee, unlawful use of a weapon and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, authorities said.
Coley appeared in bond court at the Leighton Criminal Court Building on Sunday, when Judge Adam Bourgeois Jr. ordered her held in lieu of $100,000.
At the time of her arrest, Coley had an active warrant for trespassing.
Her next court appearance was scheduled for Friday.

She self-identifies as Johnetta. Just sayin’.
If Michelle had a trouble-maker younger sistah.
NOT a CCW holder, I would imagine.
No attitude there!
This event is sorely lacking details. Like what provoked it for starters.
13% of the population.
93% of the problems.
From the photo I can see the angry coming off of her in waves. She’s PPO (perpetually pissed off).

“She self-identifies as Johnetta. Just sayin’.”
Her parents wanted a boy. Sad really. If they’d only waited 22 years, they could’ve said she was a boy, and raised her as such.
Johnetta
That’s all I needed to see
She was arrested at least one other time- Aug 23, 2013 for violation of bail bond.
Her scowling skills have improved since then. Must've taken some lessons from Mooch.
Yes, she looks very “aggrieved” in the mug shot. She has “The Look”...

Dude! I think they refer to that as a ‘hard stare.’
But why did she pull a gun on this man in the bus? Why did the bus driver tell everyone to get off the bus, only to turn right around and have them get back on the bus?
The article is just very lacking in any details. Anymore I am convinced that journalists do a terrible job of reporting news in too many instances. That is my complaint here.
“13% of the population.
93% of the problems.”
And 40% of the prison population! But they Obola claims that they are in prison “largely becaue they are Black,” not because they actually committed a crime!
If the liberal Democrat judges would actually jail people for gun crimes such as being straw purchasers and committing any king of crime with a gun Chicago would be a much more safe city. Cherchez les Dems, every time.
