Court Watch: Man Pleads Guilty in Naperville Home Invasion

A weekly look at what's going on in the DuPage County Circuit Court.

Elmhurst:
A grand jury this week indicted a Bellwood man on a charge he robbed an Elmhurst man of his new Air Jordans last month. Rodney Payton was arrested and charged with armed robbery after police linked him to a Christmas Eve holdup of a man trying exchange new Air Jordans through a Craigslist ad. Payton is alleged to have been armed with a gun during the incident, which involved a second suspect, according to authorities.

Naperville:
One of four men accused in a June home invasion has pleaded guilty. Clarence Guyton admitted to one count of attempted armed robbery in an agreement with prosecutors, who dropped five other counts, but did not include a deal on sentencing. Guyton, Kendyl Gill, Brandon Reynolds and Robert Jackson were arrested on charges they broke into a woman's apartment on Fairway Drive and stole a cell phone. Guyton was involved in a traffic a short time after the break in and reportedly told a police officer that his girlfriend had just been robbed. Guyton is scheduled to be sentenced on March 6.
