Man Accused Of Robbing Naperville Portillo's Arrested In Colorado

NAPERVILLE, IL — A Chicago man was arrested in Denver as a fugitive from justice and is being held on $100,000 bond after police say he robbed two employees at a Portillo's in Naperville in 2022.

Solomon Marshall, 21, was charged with felony aggravated robbery in connection with the July 20, 2022 incident.

Police were called to the Portillo's around 11:36 p.m. that day for a report that Marshall implied he had a handgun and demanded money from the two employees while they were working in the restaurant's drive-thru area. Marshall is accused of stealing the employees' fanny packs, which contained roughly $680 in cash, and then patting down one victim in search of more cash, saying, "Hurry up; I don't want to have to do this."

According to prosecutors, Marshall fled on foot. He was arrested Monday in Denver, Colorado, amid a fugitive from justice warrant.

“The allegations that this defendant robbed two girls while they were working the drive-thru lane at a local restaurant are very disturbing," DuPage County State's Attorney Rober Berlin said in a news release.

Berlin added, “While Mr. Marshall may have not had a real gun with him, the paralyzing fear these girls experienced, believing Mr. Marshall to be armed, was real. Thankfully, neither of the victims was physically harmed."

Marshall is set to appear in court again on Feb. 21.
