An Orland Park, Illinois, man allegedly punched an election judge in the face after barging his way past several voters at a local polling spot on Sunday, according to police.

The Village of Orland Police Department said 24-year-old Daniel Schmidt was charged with two counts of aggravated battery to a victim over 60 years of age, two counts of aggravated battery in a public place, five counts of resisting arrest and one count of disorderly conduct.

At about 11 a.m. on Nov. 3, police were dispatched to the Orland Park Township Office for reports of a man who was causing a disturbance in the voting line.

When officers arrived, they found a man – later identified as Schmidt – who was restrained by several people inside the building.

A preliminary investigation discovered that Schmidt entered the township building and walked past numerous voters who were waiting in line to vote.

One of the election judges posted at the entrance told Schmidt he needed to go to the end of the line and wait his turn to vote. Police said Schmidt refused.

After Schmidt refused to comply with the judge’s orders, another election judge walked over to assist and once again told Schmidt to go to the back of the line.
