A Chicago man was charged Wednesday in connection with the armed robbery of an Elk Grove Village gas station last week.

Ricky A. Kelly, 62, is charged with a felony count of armed robbery and is being held on $100,000 bail, of which he needs to post 10% to be released.

Elk Grove Village police said they arrested Kelly at his residence in Chicago on Tuesday and brought him to the police station for questioning.

Police said they responded to Love's Travel Stop, 1900 Busse Road, at 3:31 a.m. Thursday, April 21, after a thief wearing a purple face mask and armed with a handgun took an undisclosed amount of money before fleeing the area. No injuries were reported.
