An Hermosa neighborhood man was ordered held in lieu of $50,000 bail Sunday after he allegedly kicked a police officer in the groin and later urinated in a police station interview room.



Daniel J. Pena, 29, of the 4100 block of West Dickens Avenue, was arrested early Saturday and charged with felony aggravated battery of a peace officer and resisting arrest, as well as a misdemeanor battery charge, according to court records.



Pena allegedly got into an altercation with a bouncer at Wicker Park's Flat Iron bar in the 1500 block of North Milwaukee Avenue early Saturday, according to court records.



Police were nearby and arrived when another bouncer yelled for assistance, according to court records.



Pena was placed in custody and began to struggle with police who were attempting to handcuff him, Assistant State's Attorney Jacqueline Kwilos said Sunday in Cook County Bond Court.



As police attempted to contain Pena, he yelled, "I'm going to kick your (expletive)," according to court records.

After a struggle, Pena was placed in a squad car, Kwilos said.



But when he sat down, he laid back and kicked a police officer in the midsection, causing "swelling and pain in the groin," according to Kwilos and court records.



Pena also faces a public urination charge after he urinated on the floor of an interview room at the Shakespeare district police station, according to court records.
