Kane County sheriff’s deputies responded at 12:06 a.m. to the 300 block of Lincoln Avenue in Big Rock for a report of a disturbance in progress, a news release said.

Deputies, looking through a locked front door, saw Uebel punching, slapping and kicking a woman, and heard him threaten to kill her, according to the release.

They broke in to intervene. Uebel then attacked the deputies, and deputies used a stun weapon to try to subdue him. Uebel bit a deputy, according to the release.

Uebel also is accused of strangling the woman.

He will have a pretrial detention hearing Thursday in Kane County court.
