SALINE CO.— With as much fun that is had with the term ‘Kiddy Prison,’ it is no laughing matter when on of the youths from the Illinois Youth Center (IYC) comes unhinged and attacks an employee or fellow inmate.
In the latest burst of violence from the facility, Khaleel Lott, 18, of IYC, located at 1201 West Poplar St., Harrisburg, has been charged with two counts of felony Aggravated Battery.
The charges allege that on May 22, Lott, in one case, punched correctional institution employee Christopher Cain and in the second, kicked Cain.
As is usual with juvenile offenders, there is no way to determine if this is Lott’s first burst of violence or if this is a continuation of violent acts much worse.
And because the teen is already serving an unknown sentence for some unknown crime, there is no bond set in such cases.
X Gibbs
Another IYC inmate, whose name is well known in Harrisburg, has also been charged.
Xzavier B. Gibbs, now 19 years old and now of IYC/formerly of Carrier Mills and of Harrisburg (depending on where the transient punk opted to land), has also been charged with felony Aggravated Battery after authorities say on July 24, he pushed an IYC employee identified as Arnold Elam in the upper torso.
At the age of 17 Gibbs was charged in a December 14, 2014 incident wherein he was accused of shooting Bobby Evans, Jr., age 32, and subsequently sentenced to an undetermined amount of time at IYC.
Old violence
In a non-Kiddy Prison violence-related story, Robert D. Huff, 65, of 530 Liberty Rd., Harrisburg, has been charged with Aggravated Battery after police say that on December 10 he struck Adam Henson in the face while at Morello’s restaurant.
The alleged battering of Mr. Henson was filed as a felony because it happened in a public place.
There was no indication in court files as to what may have kicked off the alleged fracas and there was no bond information.
