JOLIET, IL — Around 50 supporters of off-duty Will County Sheriff's Deputy Edward Goewey came to the Will County Courthouse Monday morning in a show of support. Goewey faces one charge of disorderly conduct following an incident last December at St. Mary's Catholic School in Mokena, where Goewey's three children attended.

He and his wife have removed their children from St. Mary's Mokena since then, Goewey told reporters following Monday's court hearing.

In Courtroom 301, Goewey's attorney, Bob Bodach of The Tomczak Law Group, asked Will County Judge Brian Barrett to dismiss the charge. Special prosecutor Bill Elward objected, and the judge ruled in favor of the special prosecutor.
