A St. Charles woman has been found guilty for punching an elderly man.

A Kane County jury on Dec. 17 found Kristin M. Mullis guilty of the offense of aggravated battery, Class 3 felony.

Kane County Assistant State’s Attorneys Sarah Seberger and Christopher McCall presented evidence that on April 11, 2018, Mullis punched a patient in her care at a St. Charles long-term care center. Mullis was a certified nursing assistant at the center at the time.

The patient became agitated while being moved back to his bed after a shower when Mullis punched him.

Kane County Circuit Judge Donald M. Tegeler, Jr., set Mullis’ next court appearance for 1:30 p.m. March 12, 2020, in Courtroom 311 at the Kane County Judicial Center for motions and sentencing.

Mullis faces a sentence of between two and five years’ imprisonment in the Illinois Department of Corrections, or probation.

Mullis remains free on $500 bond.
