A Chicago man and suburban man were sentenced Monday after pleading guilty to two armed robberies where they terrified the victims for hours.
On Nov. 16, 2019, Justin Brown and Terwon Matthews – along with two other individuals – approached a woman who was withdrawing money from a Chase Bank ATM on LaGrange Road in Frankfort around 5:45 a.m. Prosecutors say the group – who apparently were armed with a gun – first took the woman's phone and credit card, and then withdrew money from her bank account.
The offenders then abandoned the woman and her car in Chicago before fleeing the scene in a separate vehicle."The abject terror she endured cannot be described," Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow said. "One can hardly imagine the depths of despair that she reached during this excruciating ordeal, not knowing if she was going to live or die."
