Woodridge Man Gets 23 Years For Armed Robbery In Westmont

WOODRIDGE, IL — A Woodridge man charged with using a gun to rob a Westmont gas station has been sentenced to 23 years in prison. Michael Ingram, 30, of Dalewood Parkway, was convicted of felony armed robbery in connection with the 2014 incident.

Ingram and a Chicago man, Martell Delgado, 31, entered the Citgo gas station on Ogden in Westmont around 11:40 p.m. on October 2, 2014. Ingram then displayed a gun and demanded cash from the register, police said. Ingram and Delgado then took "several hundred dollars" and fled the scene.

Police later found Delgado and Ingram and took them into custody. Delgado was convicted of armed robbery in 2017 and sentenced to 21 years in prison.

DuPage County State's Attorney Robert Berlin said, "Mr. Ingram’s twenty-three-year sentence, along with Mr. Delgado’s twenty-one-year sentence, sends the message that in DuPage County we will not accept this type of violent behavior and that if you are convicted of this type of crime you will find yourself behind bars for a very long time."

Ingram and Delgado will be eligible for parole once they've served 50% of their sentences.
