Pretrial detention follows prosecutors’ account of multiple unprovoked assaults in Chicago’s downtown.

Overview

  • Prosecutors said 40-year-old Marlon Miller was ordered held Friday after he was arrested Wednesday morning in the first block of East Randolph Street.
  • Miller faces three felony counts of aggravated battery in a public place tied to alleged punches thrown at women ages 49, 50, and 62 minutes before his arrest.
  • The state’s attorney’s office said some attacks occurred while Miller wore an electronic ankle monitor.
  • Officials described injuries that included a bruised eye and a punch to the nose, and they noted a victim’s $800 sunglasses were damaged.
