PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — An 18-year-old has been arrested in connection with an April 2024 armed robbery that occurred in Peoria’s North Valley, police said on Thursday.

Haywood Drummond was booked into the Peoria County Jail on the single count of armed robbery. He was taken into custody just before 5 a.m. after a traffic stop in the 300 block of North Saratoga Street, police said.

The incident occurred on April 9 just after 12:30 p.m. in the 500 block of Spring Street. A business reported that a person had entered the store, displayed a handgun and then took money from a customer before fleeing on foot.

No one was injured.

Semone Roth of the Peoria Police Department said the department will not release the name of the business that was robbed as they don’t want to victimize the business owners.
