Bails set at $1 million for pair charged in Lombard armed robbery
Bail was set at $1 million Wednesday for two people charged with robbing a Lombard gas station Tuesday.
David Bonner, 50, of the 1700 block of North Luna in Chicago, and Brianne Crannell, 22, of the 1000 block of West Devon Avenue in Park Ridge, appeared before DuPage County Judge Margaret O'Connell, each facing a charge of armed robbery.
Authorities allege that after Crannell, Bonner and a third person drove to the Marathon gas station at 931 E. Roosevelt Road, Crannell entered the business, bought a bag of Cheetos and returned to the car. Bonner then went in, showed a knife to a clerk, and took about $210 from a cash register and multiple boxes of cigarettes, authorities say. After the suspects drove away, police chased them onto eastbound I-290, where the three ran off, according to the news release. All three were arrested shortly thereafter.
According to the charge against Crannell, she "cased" the business to determine how many clerks were working and reported to Bonner.
Authorities have not said whether the third person in the vehicle is facing charges.
To be freed while awaiting trial, Bonner and Crannell each would have to post $100,000.
