    PLAINFIELD, Ill. — A Plainfield man accused in a violent attack against his girlfriend is facing a handful of charges, according to Joliet police.

    Officers say 52-year-old Jonah Madia has been charged with domestic battery, unlawful use of a weapon by a felon, unlawful possession of ammunition, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated discharge of a firearm, endangering the life or health of a child, manufacture and delivery of cannabis, possession of cannabis, and possession of explosives.

    Authorities say the charges were handed down after Madia allegedly beat his girlfriend and threatened to shoot her at a home in Plainfield on Friday night.

    Joliet police say officers were first called to the home in the 6300 block of Clifton Court, just before 9 p.m., after reports of a loud disturbance.

    Officers say when they arrived on the scene, they were let into the two-story home by a 6-year-old child and after entering the residence, officers immediately heard a disturbance on the second floor.

    Officers say they went upstairs and found Madia in a bedroom of the home where he was detained. His 38-year-old girlfriend was then located in another bedroom.

    According to police, an investigation then revealed that Madia had allegedly grown angry with his girlfriend, grabbed her by the hair and slammed her head against a wall several times, causing her to fall to the floor.

    Authorities say following the alleged attack, it is believed that Madia allegedly retrieved a gun from a bedroom and pointed it at the woman while threatening to shoot her. He then allegedly fired the gun two times into the bathroom floor and once into the bedroom floor.

    Officers say the woman was not struck by gunfire.

    Following an investigation, officers say they retrieved a loaded gun from the bedroom.

    While taking Madia into custody, authorities say they spotted suspected cannabis and narcotics in the home.

    After securing a search warrant, detectives searched the home early Saturday morning and allegedly recovered over 800 grams of suspected cannabis, suspected LSD, commercial-grade fireworks and ammunition.

    Authorities have not provided details on how the child is related to the suspect or the victim.

    Engcon Invests £1.5m in European Production Facilities

    Press Release

    TEWKSBURY, England, January 17, 2018 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Engcon, the world’s leading manufacturer of tiltrotators – the hydraulic wrist accessory that improves the efficiency, profitability and safety for 1 to 33 metric tonne excavators – has expanded its production facilities in Poland to meet demand.

    Engcon had barely finished celebrating the opening of its new factory in Strömsund, Sweden, before announcing its next investment to extend its factory in Poland. One of the reasons for the investment is to meet the growing demand for tiltrotators in Europe, especially in France, Holland and the U.K.

    Europe has discovered the tiltrotator. It all started with explosive growth in sales back in the early 2000s. That meant that we had to seriously step up our rate of production.

    Stig Engström, Founder and Owner

    “I am pleased and proud of the growth we have been experiencing since starting up in Poland,” Stig Engström, founder and owner of Engcon says. “We built the factory in Niepruszewo in 2012 to meet growing demand for buckets, ground compactors, grabbers and welded components. Due to our continued sales growth, we have just had the factory extended.”

    The extension has added 1,000 square meters (10,764 square feet) to the factory, which will host a new assembly hall, testing facilities and an expanded space for processing, sheet metal cutting and burring. The office section has also been extended and Engcon has invested a total of more than £1.5 million in building the extension and procuring new equipment.

    “Europe has discovered the tiltrotator,” confirms Stig. “It all started with explosive growth in sales back in the early 2000s. That meant that we had to seriously step up our rate of production.”

    In 2003, Engcon decided to establish a strategic presence in Poland and to start up manufacturing operations in the country. The company leased a factory building and began production.

    “Starting up production in Poland gave us a real boost,” continues Stig. “Eventually, we began reaching such large volumes that we needed to invest again. We bought a larger industrial site and built a new, modern factory which opened its doors in 2012. The factory was built entirely in line with our Swedish requirements.”

    As the factory now expands its capacity, it looks to the factory in Strömsund, which recently implemented a completely automatic testing facility. This concept is currently being replicated in Poland for the products manufactured there.

    “It is important for us to have the same conditions in Poland as we do in our other facilities so that we can reach our common quality objectives,” adds Dan Ekholm, production manager for the Engcon Group. “This expansion of our operations in Poland creates five new jobs directly and it looks like there will be many more on the way.”
