Roscoe Village

A suburban woman is facing robbery charges after allegedly attacking a man and taking his phone as he parked his car in Roscoe Village, about a half-block from a major Chicago Police Department facility.

Two men carjacked a Roscoe Village woman at gunpoint after she parked in her garage on Thursday evening, Chicago police said.

Prosecutors on Thursday charged a Chicago woman with carjacking a driver in Roscoe Village nearly two years ago. The accused woman, Ariana Barrett-Washington, 22, was already facing charges for another hijacking in the suburbs nine days after the North Side incident.

The now-removed owner of two popular North Side bars has pleaded guilty to illegally video-recording women in his Roscoe Village home. Michael Johnston, 39, was sentenced to two years of probation and 50 hours of community service by Judge Lawrence Flood.

Chicago police are asking for help as they try to track down a hit-and-run driver who struck a motorcyclist in Roscoe Village on Friday afternoon.

The now-removed owner of two popular North Side bars was charged Tuesday with two more counts of unlawfully videotaping women he hired to work in his Roscoe Village home.

Chicago police officers who responded to a 911 call say they saw a 10-time felon trying to steal a catalytic converter from a car after he successfully stole one from another vehicle nearby. But prosecutors refused to charge the man with a felony.
