Couple Battles Bouncers in Durbin's Dust-Up

Police said they Tasered a woman after she refused to be taken peaceably.

A bouncer at Durbin's, 17265 S. Oak Park Ave., told police around 2 a.m. on Sunday he was in the middle of breaking up an argument between two men when a woman lashed out. She struck the bouncer in the face with an open hand, causing scratches, police said.

After the bouncer shoved the woman to free himself, her boyfriend punched him in the right eye and mouth, according to police. The boyfriend then bit a second bouncer on the wrist as they wrestled to the ground, police said.

Jaclyn K. Makowski, 29, of the 17300 block of 68th Court, was charged with battery and resisting a peace officer. Police said she was Tasered in the stomach after she refused to be handcuffed and went willingly at the threat of a second Taser shot.

Jeffrey R. Feliszak, 33, of the 17300 block of George Brennan Highway, was charged with battery. His brother had been involved in the argument and was being escorted out of the building when the fight ensued, police said.

Feliszak was taken to South Suburban Hospital after losing consciousness because of his level of alcohol consumption, police said.
