CHICAGO (Sun-Times Media Wire) -
A south suburban man is the second to be charged with robbing and beating an 80-year-old Catholic priest inside his South Side parish in 2011.
Milek Harris, 22, is charged with aggravated battery of a victim over 60, armed home invasion and armed robbery in connection with the attack, which occurred about 12:20 a.m. Dec. 6, 2011, according to a statement from Chicago Police.
The Rev. Daniel Mallette was sleeping at the St. Margaret of Scotland Parish at 9837 S. Throop when he awoke to find two men standing over his bed with masks and black “ninja-like” clothing, Assistant State's Attorney Erin Antonietti said at a May bond hearing for Jerrel Harris, who is also charged with the attack.
The men allegedly demanded money before beating the priest in the head and body with their hands, fists and feet. Mallette suffered two broken ribs and bruises to his left forehead as a result of the attack, Antonietti said
