WHEATON, IL — Three men are in custody after they allegedly robbed a man at gunpoint, pushed him from a car, and ran him over in Wheaton. Marsalis Smith, 19, of Naperville, Cortez Jackson, 19, of Blue Island, and Ellihue Graves, 18, of Gary, Indiana, along with a juvenile, were charged with armed robbery in connection with the July 21 incident.
