Prosecutors have charged a suburban man with two felonies after he allegedly threw a Big Gulp on Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx during an argument near her Flossmoor home.
William Swetz “had no idea” who Kim Foxx was when he crossed paths with her as he drove in the 800 block of Sterling Avenue on Friday morning, Assistant Public Defender Catherine Stockslager said during his initial appearance this afternoon.
Foxx was on her morning walk when Swetz, 34, encountered her while driving his GMC pickup truck around 10:30 a m., officials said.
Courthouse veterans who spoke with CWBChicago on Sunday questioned the decision of Foxx’s office to charge Swetz with aggravated battery when he is only accused of tossing a drink on her.
People accused of far more serious attacks are routinely charged with misdemeanors in the county.
One example that springs to mind is that of Gary Coleman, who, in October 2021, punched a 60-year-old woman unconscious in the Loop. She fell and hit her head on the sidewalk, but he was only charged with misdemeanor battery.

The scandal plagued Foxx is not a candidate for another term. She will be replaced by December of 2024 following the November 5, 2024 election.
Maybe after that they can use her as a replacement for Zelensky.
Poor guy - one in a million chance of hitting someone at that level in public life...and so now a felony, when it otherwise would not have even been reported.
Everything is a felony these days, except for nearly all leftists. Can’t wait to see Hunter’s hand-slap for his conviction.
This George Soros financed prosecutor, who seldom prosecutes anyone, has done more to damage Chicagoland than anyone in recent memory. She never faced any consequences for rigging the Jussie Smollett case. Foxx should have been disbarred.
Do you know how many people you have to shoot in the city to get Kim Foxx’s assistant DA’s to even *charge* a gang-banger with a crime?
Assault but not aggravated battery. Not even close
How many?
I’d find it hard to believe that she didnt have a security detail with her. The karma wheel will catch up her sooner or later. So close.
I had to google whether Gary “Whatchu talkin’ about Willis” Coleman attacked 2 different 60 something year old women.
Guess that crushed ice can be very deadly
How did they find him the same day and have him before her in a police lineup? I would have got out of dodge and hid the truck in a garage for weeks.
Please do not post pics of this hag.
She looks like a black character from the Flintstones
We are missing a few scenes from the story.
What happened between Kim taking a walk and passing a guy in his truck, that lead to her being ‘baptized’ with a Big Gulp?
Who said what, and to whom?
What was that line about Root Beer and the concern for Covid-19?
Also why was she walking/running in the street? I would be pissed too. Get on the f’ing sidewalk you B
The judge seems to be inviting a more serious charge of assault because the root beer could have been infected with covid and was thus a deadly weapon.
Swetz is facing life without parole just b/c he “didnt know” who Foxx was.
The judge speculating in insanity. Sounds like Judge Ergodon, and the Wet back judge.
