WHEATON ??? The legal troubles of accused rapist Michael J. Fox continued to mount Friday, after authorities charged him with attempted murder for allegedly beating and choking a woman last week in a Naperville hotel.
Bond was set Friday at $1 million for Fox, in what proved to be his second DuPage County Circuit Court appearance in two days.
Fox was arrested Wednesday after police were called to the parking lot of the Steak ???N??? Shake restaurant at 1620 N. Route 59. The restaurant is not far from the Red Roof Inn, where Fox and his girlfriend were staying.
Patrol officers were met there by Fox???s girlfriend, a 36-year-old Warrenville woman. They noted she had sustained injuries to her head, eyes, face and neck.
Testimony during Wednesday???s bond hearing indicated Fox went out drinking Tuesday night while the woman went to sleep in their room. A drunken Fox returned to the hotel around 1:15 a.m. Wednesday, according to testimony.
Fox allegedly woke the woman up, ???calling her a whore and yelling at her that he wanted to kill her,??? testimony showed. He then allegedly choked her and beat her head against the headboard of their bed, according to testimony.
A Naperville police statement added Fox ???allegedly strangled the victim twice to unconsciousness (and) then struck her head on the floor multiple times.???
Authorities initially charged Fox with unlawful restraint, a felony, in that case. A judge on Wednesday set his bond at $100,000.
But DuPage County State???s Attorney Joe Birkett announced late Friday afternoon that Fox now stands charged with attempted murder in the hotel incident.
Fox allegedly ???decided to viciously beat and strangle this woman,??? Birkett said in a written statement. ???In the middle of the night, a defenseless woman was brutally attacked while she slept.???
Attempted murder is a Class X felony. It carries a mandatory sentence of six to 30 years in prison upon conviction.
