A man has been charged with robbing and pistol-whipping a person last week in north suburban Montgomery.

Kevonte Douglas, 24, was charged with a felony count each of robbery and armed robbery, according to Montgomery police and the Kane County Sheriff’s Office.

The male victim was sitting in the back seat of a vehicle with Douglas on Feb. 16 in the 1700 block of Ivy Lane when Douglas took his cash, police said. Douglas then pistol-whipped him and pushed him out of the parked vehicle before driving away in a different vehicle.

Investigators eventually identified Douglas as the suspect and arrested him on Wednesday, police said.

He is being held at the Kane County Jail on $250,000 bail, according to the sheriff’s office. His next court date was scheduled for March 2.
