Badon allegedly walked into the store at 9:32 a.m. Thursday, January 16, approached a cashier (a 27-year-old Chicago Lawn man) with his hand in his coat pocket and said, "I'm about to make your day very bad. This is a stick-up. I've got a gun. I want you to put all the money in the bag. Put it on the counter and walk towards the back of the store. Don't make a commotion."
The cashier did as instructed, putting nearly $600 cash in a plastic bag. As he passed the camera counter, he told a co-worker (a 44-year-old West Lawn woman), "I just got robbed. He said he had a gun." The co-worker and an assistant manager (a 44-year-old Scottsdale man) then followed the robber out the door and captured a cell phone image of the license plate on his car, a black Honda.
Police responding to the incident ran a plate check and traced the vehicle to Badon. They drove to his house, and police said that Badon's wife let them in, reportedly saying that Badon was in the basement. Police said he matched the description provided by Walgreens' staff, he was taken into custody and positively identified by the cashier. His car was impounded.
