A Chicago man is accused of robbing a Red Line passenger last week while on electronic monitoring for robbing another CTA passenger last year. Incredibly, he was on electronic monitoring at the time of last year’s robbery, too.
Shannon Stephens, 23, was arrested following the February 19 robbery of a 16-year-old boy on a Red Line train near Garfield, Chicago police said. He and 20-year-old Markell Harper, of Gary, Indiana, approached the boy while wearing ski masks and hoodies and demanded the victim’s scooter and its key, according to a CPD report. When the victim said he did not have a key and claimed the scooter was dead, Harper reached into his pocket while holding his waist as if he had a gun, the report said.
The boy tried to flee the train at Garfield, but Stephens and Harper allegedly tried to pull him back inside by his jacket. Their efforts failed, and the boy contacted police in the station’s mezzanine. Officers stopped the train at 35th Street and found Harper still aboard with the scooter in his possession, the CPD report said.

The Medusa hair-do turns them bitches to stone.
This is why only ride the Brown Line.
Simple remedy, tie him down to the tracks and await the next train to take care of the problem.
You would think the black community would abandon the tarantula head look as it is a throwback to slavery.
Most of the people I know with hair like that think they are looking like Bob Marley: Rasta musician and Patron Saint to the Rastafarin dope smokers “religion” or culture.
But to most other people, those hairstyles look like dirty. string. mops, sorry to say. I learned long ago to keep that particular opinion to myself. unless someone asks me directly for my opinion.
Who wouldn't grab the shotgun if you saw this guy walking down your street?
Honor student and loving father of his nine illegitimate thuglits.
He fits the profile.
We should be able to hunt these folks down and pepper them with some bird shot. (1st time offence.)
“Judge Carol Howard AKA: “Cook County Judge Carol Howard is known among certain prosecutors as being so lenient on criminals that her courtroom, room 203, has earned the slogan of “set em’ free, room 203.”
I wonder if the same applies to white perps.
(JK….of course it doesn’t)
(while wearing ski masks and hoodies
and demanded the victim’s scooter)
What fine upstanding citizens!!
He’s already out again (no cash bail, no limit on crimes) - with a stern warning and another ankle bracelet.
Rinse and repeat ad infinitum.
I remember when I was in Chicago many years ago and ankle bracelets first came out. They were a big joke. Among hardened criminals they were a badge of how tough they were.
Has the technology not improved in all these many generations?
Chicago judge under fire over controversial acquittals in high-profile murder cases
Tarantula heads who always have that same bored, arrogant, dead-eyed look.
Can’t keep score on the race for “best criminal” without the ability to follow their exploits!
“Outrageous”?
No. Predictable.
I think we’ve ridiculed Furry into a permanent mirror focused hissy fit. She seems not to show up for Boo Boo any more.
Maybe we adults can now focus on solving the problem of massive excess black violence, so that blacks are less victimized.
In a progressive, DemocRat world, ankle monitors would be used to pay performance bonuses.
So what is the answer? Death penalty for the third violent felony? Like “three strikes you’re out,” but serious.
