DANVILLE, Ill. (WAND) - A Danville woman has been found guilty of mob action and aggravated battery in a 2024 bar fight that left two people injured. One victim had to have facial reconstructive surgery. 

On April 23, Lachaka Davis was found guilty by a Vermilion County jury following a 3-day trial. 

The charges stem from a bar fight in the area of East South Street on March 30, 2024 at 1 a.m. 

Danville police said Davis unexpectedly attacked a victim. Two victims were kicked and hit multiple times by Davis and her co-defendants, prosecutors said. 

Police said Davis instigated the attack.

One victim suffered from severe injuries and required facial reconstruction surgery.

All co-defendants of this case have been charged, and those cases have been resolved.

State’s Attorney Jaqueline Lacy said, “I would like to thank the victims for their cooperation with the Danville Police Department, and with my office, throughout the court process. I hope the victims continue to heal, both physically and mentally.” Lacy added, “I would also like to extend my appreciation to the other cooperating witnesses who came forward. It is important to the safety of our community that witnesses come forward and speak up when a crime occurs.”
