Fifth person charged in Naperville robbery attempt

A fifth person has been charged with attempted armed robbery in connection with a Saturday incident in Naperville, police said Tuesday.

Eric T. Maschmeier, 18, of 960 Heathrow Lane, Naperville, was taken into custody late Monday afternoon at his residence and was transferred to DuPage County jail.

Already charged with attempted armed robbery were Sylvester M. O'Reilly, 20, of 1420 Swallow St., Naperville; Luis A. Martinez, 17, of 114 E. Chicago Ave., Westmont; and two male juveniles ages 13 and 15, authorities said. O'Reilly also was charged with fleeing and attempting to elude police.

Authorities said the arrests came after a Saturday incident when a 19-year-old man was confronted by at least three people as he left the Mill Pond Apartments at 1327 Modaff Road. One of the men displayed a handgun.

According to reports, the victim told officers the suspects fled when he began dialing 911 on his cell phone.

Police apprehended four of the suspects that day.
