GRANITE CITY - Three Granite City residents have been charged with mob action and more after committing battery against the same victim in public at a Granite City bar. Timothy J. Hildebrand, 55, Curtis R. Lewis, 34, and Dallas S. Graham, 24, all of Granite City, were charged with mob action (each Class 4 felonies) and aggravated battery (each Class 3 felonies). The charges stem from an Oct. 13, 2024 incident at Paddy McD’s bar in Granite City, according to petitions to deny pretrial release for all three individuals.

These charges stem from an incident that occurred on April 6, 2024. Also on Oct. 23, 2024, the same charges were filed against Algie W. Glisson, 29, and Natalie E. Quinonez, 28, both of the same Godfrey address. The charges against them related to an incident from May 5, 2024 - just over one month before Catlett and Patterson’s case. The cases against each individual state they “co-slept” with their infant children “while under the influence of drugs and alcohol, and said violation was a proximate cause of the death” of both children.
