Sycamore man to serve prison time for shoving a West Dundee Police officer causing great bodily harm

By

WEST DUNDEE—Kane County State’s Attorney Jamie Mosser recently announced that Judge Julia Yetter has sentenced Sycamore resident Tylor Z. Hyde, 28, to serve eight years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for the charge of aggravated battery to a police officer, causing great bodily harm/permanent disability/disfigurement.

On March 8, Yetter convicted Hyde of the following offenses: aggravated battery, a Class 1 felony; two counts of Class 2 felony aggravated battery charges; one Class 3 felony aggravated battery offense; aggravated assault of a peace officer, a Class 4 felony; resisting or obstructing a peace officer causing injury, a Class 4 felony; and resisting or obstructing a peace officer, a Class A misdemeanor.

Kane County Assistant State’s Attorneys Katy Flannagan and Brandon Raney told the court that on Feb. 3, 2022, West Dundee police officers responded to an extended stay hotel for a report of a domestic disturbance.

Authorities located Hyde, who was determined to be involved in the disturbance, however, Hyde soon became aggressive with the officers and indicated to them that he was armed with a weapon. He then proceeded to swing his arm at one of the officers, which resulted in that officer fearing a further altercation.

Law enforcement proceeded to try and arrest Hyde for assault but he continued to be uncooperative and resist officers. As officers attempted to handcuff Hyde, he intentionally shoved the same officer he had tried to strike earlier in the shoulder/arm area, which caused that officer to suffer great bodily harm.

Per Illinois law, Hyde’s sentence is six years for the aggravated battery count (Class 1 felony) and two years for the aggravated assault count (Class 4 felony), which are to be served consecutively with each other. Hyde is eligible for day-for-day sentencing and receives credit for 51 days served in the Kane County Adult Justice Center.

“Officers of the West Dundee Police Department responded to a typical call for service on Feb. 3, 2022, and were incredibly professional with the individuals they met that night, including the defendant,” said Flannagan. “The officers did everything they were trained to do, and the defendant made a series of choices that led to a life-altering injury for an officer simply doing his job.”

As of April 29, Hyde remains in custody at the Kane County jail and is held on no bond.

“I would like to thank all of the officers from the West Dundee Police Department who were involved in this incident for their professionalism and their investigation, which ultimately led to justice for the injured officer. This sentence sends a strong message that violence towards police officers in Kane County will not be tolerated,” continued Flannagan.

Hyde is scheduled to appear in court again on May 9 at 9:05 a.m. in Courtroom 211 of the Kane County Judicial Center.
