Police arrested a man minutes after he snatched an iPad from a woman on an
“L” train and punched another woman as the train stopped in Wrigleyville late
last night.
Zachary Robinson, 21, was ordered held in lieu of $100,000 bail in a bond
hearing midday today
Robinson was charged with felony robbery and misdemeanor battery after he
grabbed a woman’s iPad on an “L” at the Red Line's Addison stop, 940 W. Addison
St., and punched another woman about 10:45 p.m. Thursday.
After the attack, the robber took off from the "L" stop, heading west on
Addison on a skateboard. Officers at the station were able to get
a description of the attacker from the victims, and broadcast it to other
officers in the area, who caught up with him as he headed north in the 3700
block of North Racine Avenue, and arrested him in the 1100 block of West
Waveland Avenue.
The victims identified the man arrested as the robber, and he was taken into
custody and later charged.
Robinson, who police said lives in the 4500 block of North Sheridan Road, but
who prosecutors said may live in the 8200 block of South Champlain Avenue, is
due back in court on Sept. 13

Just another case of escaped chimpanzee. The zookeepers need to keep these monkeys locked up!
I agree with u
They are attracted to shiny objects.
What is your mother doing out that late anyway
And that nappy, bug infested hair rolls.
Do they ever comb or wash it?
No, they cannot with it rolled up like that.
I knew someone who wore her hair in a tight bun. She wore it that way all summer long. Like rolls, I'm pretty sure she didn't wash her hair either with that big ol bun on top of her head.
It has to smell something awful!
I have never been to Chicago, and have never wanted to go there. Nothing I have seen or read about the place has made me change my mind.
I have been to 37 countries so far, including 3 combat zones, but Chicago is worse than all of them.
You're smart, my friend. I am a native Chicagoan and this is not a very good or safe city. People from here bash NYC and LA. I'm not sure why as we have more crime than both cities and the sad part is they're both twice as large in population. That says a lot. Aside from the beautiful skyline, I have to admit it is beautiful, there's nothing much more to see in this town. If you ever change your mind and decide to visit here make sure to keep your guard up.
No, there is nothing in Chicago for me. I lived in Illinois for almost 8 years, Mar 1987 - Nov 1994 in Belleville when I was stationed at Scott AFB.
Never went to Chicago then, not gonna go now.
St. Louis was more than I wanted.
It's weird......this city is setup like no other. I believe we're one of the few, or perhaps the only one with 70+ alderman. Lookup NYC and LA (two of the largest cities in the nation) and their city office is setup completely different. We don't hold a monopoly on corruption, but we're sure up there with the best of them. Perhaps that explains all the crime we have.
You're smart. :-)
It starts at the top.
Good try, but no.
To all of you Pussy cats probably all suburban small shit town white bred and fed I am Chicago native and Caucasian Ive lived here all my life its not all about crime you just have to be smart and watch your surroundings is all..
