The nurse was making her rounds about 12:20 a.m. at Tower Hill Healthcare Center, 759 W. Kane St., in South Elgin, when Williams called her over to his bed and asked to hold her hands, police said.

Williams then grabbed her, held her against her will and “fondled the victim’s entire body,” according to police.

He was arrested and taken to the Kane County Adult Justice Center to await a bail hearing, police said.
