Robbery in Chicago Suburb Leaves Guards Injured
Two men have been arrested on federal charges for allegedly robbing an armored truck at gunpoint in a Chicago suburb earlier this week.
Devonte Davis, 26, and Darrell Singleton, 18, allegedly robbed the Brink’s armored truck on Tuesday morning in Homewood, Ill., according to a complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago. The robbery occurred as two guards were picking up money from a bank inside of a grocery store in the 3100 block of 183rd Street in the Chicago suburb.
During the robbery, one of the robbers struck a guard in the head with a firearm, the complaint states. Law enforcement on Tuesday afternoon located the defendants in a residence in Calumet Park, Ill., and took them into custody.
The government will seek to have both defendants remain detained pending trial. Davis is scheduled for a detention hearing on May 8, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. before U.S. Magistrate Judge M. David Weisman. Singleton waived his right to a detention hearing. His case is scheduled for a status hearing on May 10, 2023, before Judge Weisman.
The alleged robbery is punishable by a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison. If convicted, the Court must impose reasonable sentences under federal statutes and the advisory U.S. Sentencing Guidelines.
Substantial assistance was provided by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, Calumet Park Police and Fire Departments, Homewood Police Department, Chicago Police Department, Country Club Hills Police Department, Evergreen Park Police Department, Calumet City Police Department, Dolton Police Department, Alsip Police Department, Orland Park Police Department, Cook County Sheriff’s Office, Lansing Police Department, and Illinois State Police.
The public is reminded that a complaint is not evidence of guilt. The defendants are presumed innocent and entitled to a fair trial at which the government has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Elie Zenner and Kirsten Moran.
A complaint is a document that outlines the charges against the defendants. It is not a conviction or a guilty verdict.
The investigation was led by Morris Pasqual, Acting United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois; and Robert W. “Wes” Wheeler, Special Agent-in-Charge of the Chicago Field Office of the FBI.
