5-time felon gets 4½-years for brazen Bucktown robbery that quickly went viral (video)

The brazen and violent robbery that took place in broad daylight in Bucktown, one of Chicago’s typically safer neighborhoods, left many residents shocked and concerned. The attack, caught on video, showed a man being ambushed as he walked through an alley, resulting in the theft of his belongings.

Karl Michalak, a 33-year-old man on his first day at a new job, was the victim of this vicious assault. As he made his way back to the store after a lunch break, he was blindsided by an attacker who struck him in the head, causing him to fall against a fence. A second assailant joined in, and together they stole Michalak’s phone and bag before fleeing the scene. Michalak sought medical treatment the following day for his injuries.

The surveillance video of the incident quickly went viral, garnering widespread attention and sympathy from the community. Despite the initial outrage, the case seemed destined to remain unsolved, as is often the fate of many similar crimes in the city. However, unbeknownst to most, Chicago police had collected DNA evidence from the scene and identified a suspect: 34-year-old Andre Simmons.

Simmons, a five-time felon who had been released from parole just months prior to the attack, was implicated as the instigator of the assault. He admitted to investigators that the intended outcome was simply “an ass whooping.” Following his guilty plea to robbery charges, Simmons was sentenced to 54 months in prison by Judge Michael Hood. With the possibility of early release for good behavior and time served, Simmons is expected to be paroled by February 27, 2026.

Despite Simmons’ conviction, his accomplice in the robbery remains at large. The incident serves as a sobering reminder of the prevalence of crime in the city and the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to hold perpetrators accountable. The swift resolution of this case highlights the importance of thorough investigative work and the pursuit of justice for victims of violent crimes.
