Indictments Handed Down in Grayslake Home Invasion

A Lake County grand jury indicted two men in connection with last September's home invasion in the 1000 block of Manchester Circle in Grayslake's College Trail subdivision.

Jovan Martin, 20, of Waukegan, and Devaughn Thompson, 19, of Zion, have been charged with home invasion, armed robbery, armed violence and aggravated unlawful restraint, reported the Lake County News-Sun.

Initial police reports said three suspects allegedly unlawfully entered the townhome of two brothers then restrained and robbed them at gunpoint, reported Patch. The suspects then led police on a five-hour manhunt that involved a helicopter, police dogs and thermal imaging cameras after they crashed their car into an electric pole on Atkinson Road near Brae Loch Road then fled on foot.

Police conducted a thorough search of the area where the suspects crashed their car and fled, but never located any firearms the victims claimed the suspects used, reported Patch.

One of the initial suspects, John Baruffi, was released two months after the incident when it was determined he had not been at the scene. Charges against suspect Richard A. Kellogg, 18, of Waukegan, were dropped on Oct. 25, according to the Lake County Circuit Court Clerk's Office.

Jovan Martin is in custody of the Lake County Jail in lieu of $500,000 bond and is due back in court for arraignment March 5, reported the News-Sun. There is a warrant outstanding for Devaughn Thompson’s arrest.
