Police arrest Moron

A man wanted since January on several domestic violence charges was arrested on Sunday after his girlfriend told police he beat her, police said.

Joseph Moron, 35, was arrested early on Sunday morning at his girlfriend’s home in the 200 block of South Newark Circle, police said.

The girlfriend had gone to Aurora Police Headquarters earlier that morning and told officers that Moron had beat her the previous night. With the woman’s permission, officers searched the home and found Moron sleeping in a bedroom.

In addition to new charges of assault battery and menacing stemming from the alleged incident with his girlfriend, Moron also faces charges stemming from previous domestic violence incidents, police said. Those charges include stalking, kidnapping, felony assault, burglary and several counts of violating a protection order, police said.
