(ORLAND PARK, IL) — A 24-year-old Illinois man has been arrested after allegedly causing a disturbance in a voting line before punching an election judge in the face, police said.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred on Sunday at approximately 11 a.m. when Orland Park police officers were dispatched to the Orland Park Township Office in Illinois due to a man — later identified as 24-year-old Daniel Schmidt — \u201ccausing a disturbance in the voting line,\u201d police said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOfficers on scene learned that Schmidt entered the township building and walked past numerous other voters waiting in line to enter the voting area,\u201d the Orland Park Police Department said in a press release detailing the incident. \u201cAn election judge posted at the entrance told Schmidt to go to the back of the line and wait his turn, which Schmidt refused.\u201d<\/p>\n

Police said that another election judge was called at that point to help assist in the disturbance and Schmidt was once again instructed to go to the back of the line, which Schmidt declined to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cSchmidt attempted to push past that election judge and was prevented from entering by that judge and several other employees,\u201d authorities said. \u201cSchmidt began to yell profanities and punched the election judge in the face, knocking their glasses off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several other patrons jumped in and managed to restrain Schmidt until officers arrived and found him inside the Township office where he tried to resist arrest, police said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Orland Park Police Headquarters, the Cook County States Attorney\u2019s Office was contacted and approved (2) counts of Aggravated Battery to a victim over 60 (Class 3 Felony), (2) counts of Aggravated Battery in a public place (Class 3 Felony), (5) misdemeanor counts of Resisting Arrest and one misdemeanor count of Disorderly Conduct,\u201d said the Orland Park Police Department.<\/p>\n

Schmidt was held overnight and transported to Bridgeview Courthouse for a detention hearing and the investigation is currently ongoing.<\/p>\n
