The case, which was filed on July 6, 2006, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (ILND Federal District), saw Cerro facing several serious charges.
According to court documents, Cerro was accused of committing armed robbery, use of a firearm during a crime of violence, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
