Lakemoor man acquitted of home invasion, battery
WOODSTOCK – After about three hours of deliberation, a jury Wednesday acquitted a Lakemoor man on charges of breaking into his on-and-off girlfriend’s home and punching her repeatedly in the head.
Robert L. Hilt, 36, had faced between six and 30 years in prison if convicted of home invasion. He also was charged with two counts of domestic battery.
Hilt and the alleged victim have known each other since they were 11, dated for about four years and have a child together.
