Teen Jailed For Grabbing Gun Used in Pizza Man Stickup: Cops

JOLIET, IL — A teen who took a stolen gun after another youth used it to rob a pizza man was captured and jailed, police said.

Cameron Moffett, 18, was booked into custody on charges of possession of a stolen firearm, the aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, and unlawful possession of a handgun.

Moffett was arrested shortly after 8 p.m. Wednesday near the corner of Second Avenue and Richards Street. A second man, Jevonte Moffett, 23, was charged with resisting or obstructing a police officer.

Cameron Moffett was seen Tuesday night showing off a handgun that had been used in a robbery the night before, police said. Cameron Moffett allegedly took the gun away from the older brother of a 15-year-old who had held up a pizza man on Osgood Street.

A 14-year-old friend of the young bandit had stolen the gun from his mother, police said. The 14-year-old allegedly staged a burglary at his mother’s East Washington Street home, but the cops got suspicious when the only thing taken was her handgun.

The supposed prowlers passed on grabbing jewelry and electronics left in plain view inside the home, police said.

The 15-year-old was charged with aggravated robbery and taken to River Valley Juvenile Detention Center.

The 14-year-old was reportedly released to his mother’s custody while he remained under investigation.

Cameron Moffett remained in the Will County jail and was scheduled to appear in court Thursday afternoon.
