EDWARDSVILLE — Released from jail after posting bail two weeks ago in an assault case, Javon James Isaac and another man were arrested on charges they were intoxicated in public late Monday.

Isaac later spit on an officer and urinated in a cell, landing him in more trouble, according to court records.

Police responded to Hillside Avenue just after 10 p.m. on a report that Isaac, 23, and Alexander Torres-Silva, 26, were allegedly attempting to enter vehicles.

Police say they caught up to Isaac and Torres-Silva in the area of Jones Lane and Hoblack Street, and an officer noticed they were highly intoxicated.

After Isaac and Torres-Silva were arrested for public drunkenness, Isaac allegedly spit saliva that struck an officer’s mouth. Meanwhile, three used syringes and a metal spoon were found in Torres-Silva’s pockets, authorities say.

Isaac was placed in a holding cell where police allege he urinated on the floor.

Torres-Silva was wanted on a probation violation in Philadelphia County, police report.

Court records say Isaac was released from the Luzerne County Correctional Facility on Jan. 14 when he posted $3,000 bail through a bondsman on charges he went on a drunken rage and assaulted a woman and her 10-year-old daughter inside a residence on West Grove Street in Edwardsville on Dec. 19.

Isaac and Torres-Silva were arraigned Tuesday by District Judge James Haggerty in Central Court.

Isaac, of West Grove Street, Edwardsville, was charged with two counts each of aggravated harassment by prisoner and institutional vandalism and a single count of drunkenness. He was released on $15,000 unsecured bail.

Torres-Silva, of Hanover Village, Hanover Township, was charged with drunkenness and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was released on $1,000 unsecured bail but is being held at the county lockup on the probation violation in Philadelphia.
