The Trayvon case made him do it

Oak Park 1 Minute

Mugging of white man in our fair village:

 Alton L. Hayes III, of Oak Park, and a 15-year-old Chicagoan both black walked up behind the 19-year-old victim and pinned his arms to his side early Tuesday, police said.

Alton:

He said, Empty your pockets, white boy,” robbed him, threw him down and punched him out, he and his friend.

He was mad about the Trayvon business and took it out on the white man, he told police. It didn’t pay.

Hayes was charged with attempted robbery, aggravated battery and a hate crime, all felonies, Oak Park police Detective Cmdr. Ladon Reynolds said.

He was still in jail Friday.
