AURORA, Ill. _ A 32-year-old Illinois man is accused of hitting a man over the head with a bottle of Scotch at a wedding party this weekend.
Alejandro Rodriguez, 32, of Aurora, is charged with one count of aggravated battery, a class 3 felony, in the incident.
At 1:37 a.m. Sunday, police went to Emmanuel School and found a 39-year-old man on the floor bleeding from the head, according to police reports. A number of people were still there, many of them upset because of the incident, according to police reports.
Police said they found Rodriguez in a red Ford SUV parked in the school's lot.
According to those attending the wedding party, the event was ending at 1 a.m. and the remaining alcohol was being given to some of the guests to take home, according to police reports.
