FLOSSMOOR, IL – A Flossmoor man is facing charges after he allegedly threw a drink at Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx and tried to run her over with his truck during an encounter Friday.

William Swetz, 34, of Flossmooris charged with aggravated assault with a motor vehicle and aggravated battery in a public place, Fox 32 Chicago reported.

Swetz was sitting in his car near a home on Sterling Avenue when he encountered Foxx who was reportedly walking near her own home, Fox 32 reported. Swetz allegedly shouted an expletive at Foxx, who then made a hand gesture at Swetz.

Prosecutors allege Swetz then put the truck in reverse and drove toward Foxx, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. He then threw a “brown liquid substance from a drinking cup” in her face.

Swetz was arrested during a pretrial hearing on Sunday, charged and later released. He is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday.
