Homeless Man With Sawed-Off Shotgun Sticks Up 2 Pot Dealers In Orland Park: Cops

Two drug dealers got ripped off by a homeless man toting a sawed-off shotgun after they agreed to meet with him in Orland Park so he could buy some pot, police said.

One of the pot dealers, a 21-year-old woman, knew the homeless man from high school and they connected on Snapchat so he could buy some drugs, police said.

The woman and a 28-year-old man headed over to Melrose Court to meet with 25-year-old Jeffrey Alberts, police said, but instead of buying marijuana from the couple, Alberts produced a sawed-off shotgun and stole it from them. He also allegedly took some money.

Police reportedly found the gun in a black backpack in a room at Alberts’ father’s Orland Park home. Alberts had been staying there for a couple days, police said.

Alberts was charged with armed robbery and the unlawful use of a weapon. He remains in custody at the Cook County jail.
