College of DuPage Armed Robbery Suspect Bond Set at $300,000

GLEN ELLYN, IL — Bond has been set for $300,000 for the second of two men charged in a September 2016 armed robbery at College of DuPage, County State’s Attorney Robert B. Berlin announced. The men, who were COD students at the time, are accused of stealing a female student’s purse at gunpoint in a parking garage on the college campus.

Judge Richard Russo set bond at $300,000 for Deandre Ford, 19, of Glen Ellyn. Ford and 19-year-old Javon Burruss have both been charged with armed robbery, aggravated battery and robbery. In February, Judge Russo set bond at $250,000 for Burruss.

Police sought both men after the September 12, 2016 College of DuPage robbery, in which Burruss was reportedly armed with a gun. Police said the weapon, later determined to be a BB gun, was held in “ready position” as the two men allegedly stole the victim’s purse and fled.

Police arrested Burruss on February 11, 2017. Ford was arrested in Texas last month and transported to DuPage County on Tuesday.
