5 state corrections officers face charges in Lexington bar fight

BLOOMINGTON – Five Illinois Department of Corrections officers are due in court later this month on charges of aggravated battery and mob action related to a mid-February incident in Lexington.

Adam Deal, 38, of Pontiac; Jason Dyer, 43, of Cooksville; Adam Greenway, 29, of Flanagan; Nicholas Page, 25, of Peoria; and Gino Wendes, 24, of Kankakee, are due back in McLean County court March 19 for an arraignment following their arrests Feb. 25.

Lexington Police Chief David Belvery said they’re accused of starting a fight with three other men at about 11 p.m. Feb. 12 at Dat Bar on Main Street in Lexington.

Dyer was charged with five counts of aggravated battery in a public place and one count of mob action. Greenway and Page were each charged with one count of aggravated battery in a public place and mob action.
