Six-year sentence for Streamwood armed robbery

A Cook County judge sentenced a 19-year-old Streamwood man to prison for six years Monday in exchange for his guilty plea to a July 2009 armed robbery he committed on the block where he lived.

Marcus Mallett, of the 1500 block of McKool Ave., and two other men approached the three victims, one of whom recognized Mallett as his neighbor, said Cook County Assistant State's Attorney Mike Andre.

Mallett reportedly "chambered a round" and pointed the gun at the victims, taking from them wallets, money and cell phones, Andre said.

Police located Mallett, who was on probation for retail theft at the time, the following day, Andre said.

Mallett, who has been incarcerated in Cook County Jail since his arrest, received more than 200 days of credit for time served, Andre said.
