Police: Elgin man threatened to shoot officers in domestic call

A 25-year-old Elgin man has been charged with threatening police officers after his arrest early Saturday during a domestic incident.

According the police report, Aranda was arguing with his mother shortly after midnight when he began breaking items and pushed her in the chest with two hands. Police came to the door, and Aranda approached an officer with his right fist clenched, saying "You wanna get beat up?" the report said.

The officer grabbed Aranda's arm, cuffed and arrested him. Aranda threatened to spit on police when the case went to court, said he wanted them to "die slow" and "I'm gonna put a bullet in your spine" while swearing, according to the report.

While being taken to the police van, Aranda pushed police and continued to swear at them, the report said.

If convicted of the most severe charge of aggravated battery to a police officer, Aranda faces a sentence ranging from probation to up to seven years in prison. The threatening a public official charge carries at top sentence of five years in prison.
