After the robbery, the suspect was seen walking westbound on Argyle Street from Winthrop.
At 7:37 p.m., police arrested the cell phone thief at the Windy City Ribfest in Uptown, near Lawrence and Broadway.
It appears police recovered the victim's iPhone.
I thought those "greenies" didn't eat meat up there. Promoting a "ribfest" while only eating their "organic" dandelions and wheat grass grown on their rooftops and running the local farmer out of business. How hypocritical. I knew it was a hoax.
