Addison teen gets probation in 2014 robbery, beating

The third of five men accused of luring a juvenile victim to a spot near Wheaton and then beating him and taking his wallet was sentenced to probation Thursday.

Judge George Bakalis sentenced Nathaniel Rodriguez, 19, of Addison to 30 months probation but also gave Rodriguez a stern warning. Rodriguez previously pleaded guilty to robbery.

"If you violate this probation, I will immediately sentence you to four years in the penitentiary," Bakalis warned.

Prosecutors said Rodriguez, along with two other adults and two juveniles, called the victim around midnight on Sept. 21, 2014. They told the victim their car was broken down near his home and asked him to bring some money.

When the victim arrived, three men attacked him and took his wallet and cellphone. The victim ran back to his residence and the suspects drove away, officials said.

The five suspects were looking for money to buy drugs and targeted someone they considered "rich," according to police.

Devonte Allmon, of Villa Park, has pleaded guilty to robbery and is serving a seven-year sentence. Kyle Deger, 21, of Glen Ellyn has also pleaded guilty to robbery is scheduled to be sentenced on June 30.
