On Saturday, the 32-year-old mother called 911 to report that her landlord had attacked her with a knife.
She ran into a bathroom and kept fighting him off, the Will County Sheriff’s Office said.
Attempts to reach Czuba or a family member were unsuccessful Sunday, and the sheriff’s office and county public defender's office did not immediately return messages about Czuba's legal representation.
The Justice Department opened a hate crime investigation into the events leading up to the attack, Attorney General Merrick Garland said.
