A man with five prior felony convictions and two pending felony cases in Wisconsin was arrested for allegedly robbing a man on a Chicago train early Tuesday morning.
Prosecutor Tilesha Jackson said a 40-year-old man was riding a Red Line train when suspect Dontrell Hollie, 29, commented on the man’s bag before forcibly taking it from him, according to CWBChicago.
The victim then contacted a train operator over an intercom while Hollie moved to a different car. Police arrived at the North-Clybourn station, where the victim identified Hollie in a "huge crowd," Jackson said.
Law enforcement officials then searched Hollie and recovered the other man’s wallet from his pants pocket, the prosecutor said.
