Illinois State Rep. Younge Robbed at Gunpoint in Home
Saturday, March 29, 2008
EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. - A 77-year-old Illinois state representative is happy
to be alive after a man with a gun pushed his way into her home and robbed
her of $7.
Wyvetter H. Younge was not injured in the robbery that occurred around noon
Friday.
Younge said she thought her son had knocked on her door and opened it, but
instead found an armed man. He told her to get on her hands and knees, then
grabbed her purse and ran.
Younge, a Democrat, said she didn't recognize the man, who wore a red hat
and red jacket and dark pants. She said she's going to pray for him.
"This robbery and what's happening to this community is the result of a lack
of a supportive system for our youth. We need jobs," she said. "This
happened in broad daylight at noon. We need a mental health support system.
This is further evidence of that."
Illinois State Police are investigating.
