Later Monday, 26-year-old Rogers Park resident Milton Anderson and a neighbor he knew through work presented themselves at 49th Ward alderman Joe Moore’s office. Anderson confessed to the robbery (but not to the assault), and Moore escorted him to the Area One police station at Belmont and Western, where Anderson turned himself in. On Tuesday police charged Anderson with two felony counts, one for robbery and one for sexual assault, both with a firearm, and Moore posted the story on his website.
“This person said that if [Anderson] cared about his girlfriend and the baby,” says Moore, “he shouldn’t wait for the police to come to the apartment or for the police to stop him on the street. He explained that the cops don’t know if he has a gun on him-he’s accused of sexual assault with a gun. Or they’ll kick down the door in front of his girlfriend and his child.”
