DECATUR A 24-year-old Decatur man is being held in jail on $50,000 bond after he was arrested for allegedly kicking a woman in the face repeatedly, sending her to the hospital for treatment of multiple facial fractures and possible blindness in one eye.

Casio Devine, allegedly was at a residence in the 800 block of East Rogers Avenue between 3 and 4 a.m. Sunday, when he became upset about social media posts his female acquaintance had made.

Casio punched her several times in the face with a closed fist, the victim told police.

After she fell to the floor, Casio then kicked her approximately eight times in the head, said a probable cause affidavit by Decatur patrol officer Joseph Kish.

A young child told police she saw the suspect punch and kick the victim several times. An adult relative of the victim said Casio told her he wished he would have killed the victim.

An emergency room physician at Decatur Memorial Hospital told police the victim may lose the use of her right eye. He said he was going to transfer her to another hospital for specialized treatment.

Kish observed that the victim's right eye was bruised and swollen shut. The swelling was about the size of a golf ball. Blood was coming out from her swollen eye. The victim also suffered bruises and abrasions on her back.

Devine was arrested about 11 a.m. Sunday and booked into the jail on a preliminary charge of aggravated domestic battery. He is due in court for his arraignment by Monday.

Devine has three prior criminal convictions, including a 2010 conviction for manufacture/delivery of cocaine, for which he was sentenced to six years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.
