Bond set at $1 million for man accused in local armed robbery Detectives commended for bringing suspect to justice case,” Berlin said. “The allegations in this case, that Mr. Love stole money at gunpoint and kicked a man in the face who was just trying to make an honest living, will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

“Unfortunately, this type of violence is exhibited by many criminals in today’s society,” Detective Sgt. William Lyons said. “The Villa Park police detectives worked continuously beginning from the initial

response to ensure the offenders are brought to justice. This is an outstanding example of a cooperative investigation by multiple agencies within Dupage County.” Love’s next court appearance is

scheduled for Aug. 21 in front of Judge John Kinsella. Members of the public are reminded that these complaints contain only charges and are not proof of the defendant’s guilt.
