Prosecutors say Carlton Cherry of West Ridge walked into the coffee shop at 4015 N. Lincoln and took about $7 cash from the store’s tip jar last Friday morning. Then, he socked a barista in the mouth when she tried to intervene.
Cops working off of a description of the robber stopped Cherry on Montrose Avenue and brought him to the store where a witness and the employee positively identified him as the offender.
Now, Cherry—who sports a tattoo on his left hand that says “Guns Drugs Money Sex”—is charged with felony robbery and felony aggravated battery of a merchant.
He has been released on electronic monitoring.
