On April 4, 2014 at approximately 5:26 pm the Antioch Police Department received a call from the clerk at the gas station at 3270 Lone Tree Way advising he was robbed at gunpoint.

The victim reported seeing the suspect running southbound Lone Tree Way near James Donlon Boulevard.

Upon arrival Officers began searching the area for the suspect and located him on a section of old Lone Tree way behind CVS. The suspect was sitting down counting money and fled on foot upon seeing Officers.

A foot pursuit ensued and the suspect was caught by pursuing Officers without incident. The suspect, a 16-year-old boy, was positively identified, admitted to the crime, and was sent to Juvenile Hall.

The stolen money was recovered and the clerk was not injured in the incident.

My husband always called this job security. Stupid criminals. Sad thing is that he is a minor and will just get a slap on the wrist–you know the drill-poor baby, he has bad parents, he just didn’t understand what he was doing was wrong, he didn’t have the same opportunity as the majority of the kids, etc., etc., etc.

“The real victim here is the poor kid” Isn’t that what the idiots are chanting in their heads?

Seriously folks, thankfully he didn’t use that gun to kill someone. He’s 16 years old! kids have a good grasp of right and wrong around the age of 4. And if any of you think that it was because of bad parents then that means that the parents never taught him right from wrong for the past 16 years?

Barbara is 100% correct about the slap on the wrist “poor baby drill”.

I wonder what was the motivation for the 16 year old to do such a thing?
