| Jimmell Cannon (inset) was charged with stealing a woman’s Lexus in the middle of Ashland Avenue. |
Jimmell Cannon, the 19-year-old Lawndale man who was accused of stealing a woman’s Lexus during a bump ’n’ run auto theft in Lakeview on May 27 has reported to Stateville Correctional Center.
Cannon was handed a four-year sentence in exchange for his guilty plea.
Three weeks before he and a never-identified second man tapped the back of the woman’s car in the 2900 block of North Ashland and then stole the Lexus when she got out to look for damage, the Cook County State’s Attorney dropped charges against Cannon in a nearly identical case, CWBChicago reported this spring.
Two weeks after our report, prosecutors changed their mind and took the earlier case to a grand jury, which returned a true bill against Cannon.
He has now pleaded guilty to that case, too. A judge sentenced him to four years for the earlier incident to be served concurrently with the Lakeview sentence.
Cannon also pleaded guilty to resisting police in a third auto theft case. Once again the judge gave him four years to be served concurrently with the other sentences. His parole date has not been set.

Greene was handed a six-year sentence. With credit for nearly 2.5 years that he spent in jail awaiting trial, Greene is scheduled to be paroled in February.
