A Joliet man was charged with shooting at and wounding a woman as she sat on a front porch last week.
Julius Byes, 21, of 200 Duncan St. was jailed on charges of aggravated discharge of a firearm and reckless discharge of a firearm. The warrant for his arrest carries a $100,000 bond.
Byes walked up on Paris Crowder as she was sitting on a Joliet Street porch, put his hands in the air and then produced a handgun, police said.
Byes fired three or four shots but missed Crowder with all of them, police said. A bullet did apparently send debris flying which hit Crowder in the knee, police said.
Paramedics were called but Crowder refused to take a trip to the hospital, police said.
