Downers Grove Chief of Police Michael DeVries and DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin announced today that bond has been set for a Downers Grove man accused of robbing a person at gunpoint of three Summer Smash concert wristband tickets on June 24, 2023. Jordan Daurham (20), of the 1200 block of 71st Street, appeared at a bond hearing this morning where Judge Mia McPherson set bond at $750,000 with 10% to apply. Daurham is charged with one count of Armed Robbery (Class X Felony), one count of Possession of a Stolen Motor Vehicle (Class 2 Felony) and one count of Aggravated Unlawful Use of a Weapon (Class 4 Felony). 

On July 19, 2023, Downers Grove Police Officers located Daurham outside his apartment. After a brief foot pursuit, officers took Daurham into custody. 

“I would like to thank our patrol officers, evidence technicians, and investigators whose combined efforts over the past several weeks led to an arrest in this case,” Chief DeVries said of the arrest. “I commend our officers who put their own safety at risk to apprehend an armed offender. I would also like to thank the DuPage County State’s Attorney Bob Berlin and his Office for their guidance and support throughout our investigation”.  

Members of the public are reminded that this complaint contains only charges and is not proof of the defendants’ guilt. The defendants are presumed innocent and are entitled to a fair trial in which it is the government’s burden to prove their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
