A 19-year-old has been slapped with multiple felony charges for armed vehicular hijacking and robbery, authorities said Thursday. Christopher Adams of the 200 block of S. Early St., Park Forest, Illinois, is accused of taking a vehicle at gunpoint from a 43-year-old man earlier this year. The incident occurred in the gritty early hours of February 23, with the crime scene taped off in the 10700 block of S. Vincennes Ave.

The Vehicular Hijacking Task Force nabbed Adams on May 7, as he was roaming the 9700 block of S. Halsted St., according to a statement by the Chicago Police Department. While making the arrest, a weapon was recovered, bringing more heat to the case that has already been charged with one felony count of aggravated vehicular hijacking with a firearm.

The young offender faces a trifecta of felony charges, which alongside the vehicular hijacking with a firearm include aggravated unlawful use of a weapon/vehicle/loaded/no FCCA and robbery armed with a firearm. The Cook County District Attorney's office confirmed the charges, marking a fast but heavy downfall for the teenager.

Representatives for Adams, whose defense is standing in front of the judge, will have their hands full during the detention hearing, which is scheduled to take place at the Cook County Criminal Courthouse on 2600 S. California. While the officers of the law have made their collar, additional information surrounding the case remains tight-lipped, leaving many questions unanswered. Details, as thin as they have been disseminated, hint at a broader narrative yet to unfold.
