🚨 Unlawful restraint under 720 ILCS 5/10-3 charges Class 4 felony when prosecutors prove you knowingly detained another person without legal authority — and Will County judges impose 1-3 years prison, even when defendants claim disputes were misunderstandings.
Illinois law criminalizes knowingly restraining another person without consent, triggering felony charges when victims cannot leave. Penalties include 1-3 years prison and permanent criminal records affecting employment. Prosecutors rely on victim testimony and physical evidence. Common defenses include lack of intent, consent disputes, and challenging victim credibility when conflicting accounts exist.
