Naperville man charged in nail salon armed robbery

A 25-year-old Naperville man, Rio Franklin, is being held on $750,000 bail, charged with the March 25 armed robbery of the U.S. Nail Salon on the 900 block of East Ogden Avenue.

Franklin, who is also wanted on a warrant out of Champaign, was being held on the warrant Tuesday in DuPage County jail when he was included in and picked from an inmate lineup for the Naperville case, according to police and court documents.

Police said Franklin entered the salon at 6:26 p.m. on March 25 and showed a semiautomatic handgun before taking an undisclosed amount of cash and a black 2004 Volvo SUV. He was last seen driving east on Ogden Avenue in the stolen vehicle.

In addition to armed robbery, Franklin has been charged with possession of a stolen motor vehicle and four counts of aggravated unlawful restraint.

Police said they are continuing to investigate Franklin's possible connection to other Naperville-area crimes.
