Man Sentenced in Glen Ellyn, DuPage Co. Beauty Salon Robberies

The following information comes from a DuPage County State's Attorney press release. 

Jason Logsdon, 42, of 900 Chicago Ave. in Evanston, has been sentenced to fourteen years in the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) for robbing four DuPage County businesses in late 2012 and early 2013. 

Logsdon entered a plea of guilty Monday morning to four counts of Aggravated Robbery (Class 1 Felony) in front of Judge Daniel Guerin, who handed down the sentence.

Today’s sentence stems from allegations that Logsdon entered each of the establishments, disguised and armed with a pellet gun. Once inside the stores, Logsdon pointed his gun at the clerk and demanded money. 

After receiving the money from the clerk, Logsdon fled the scene on foot. In each of the robberies, store personnel immediately contacted their local police department following the incident. 

A joint investigation conducted by numerous law enforcement agencies from throughout the Chicagoland area led to Logsdon’s arrest on February 4, 2013.

The DuPage County businesses Logsdon robbed include:

• Smokers Best located on York Road in Bensenville. Logsdon robbed this establishment on December 26, 2012, at approximately 9:55 a.m.
• Sport Clips located on Roosevelt Road in Lombard. Logsdon robbed this establishment on December 27, 2012, at approximately 6:11 p.m.
• Hair Cuttery located on Roosevelt Road in Lombard. Logsdon robbed this establishment on January 2, 2013, at approximately10:42 a.m.
• Great Clips located on Roosevelt Road in Glen Ellyn. Logsdon robbed this establishment on January 3, 2013 at approximately10:50 a.m.

"For several months, Mr. Logsdon terrorized small businesses throughout DuPage and Cook Counties,” Berlin said. “His arrest and successful prosecution is a perfect example of law enforcement agencies working together to hold responsible those who commit crimes in multiple jurisdictions. I would like to thank all the law enforcement agencies involved, particularly the Bensenville, Lombard and Glen Ellyn Police Departments for their outstanding police work. I would also like to thank Assistant State’s Attorney Cathy DeLaMar for holding Mr. Logsdon responsible for this multi-county crime spree.”

Logsdon is currently in the IDOC serving a fourteen-year sentence for similar robberies committed in Cook County. His fourteen-year sentence in DuPage County will be served concurrently with his Cook County sentence.

Logsdon will be required to serve 50% of his sentence before being eligible for parole.
