BB Gun Used By Palatine Teens In Failed Hold-Up: Prosecutors

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL — Two Palatine teens face robbery charges after they allegedly brandished a BB gun during an attempted robbery in Arlington Heights over the weekend. Alexy Godoy, 19, and Exequiel Sosa-Barrientos, 18, were each charged with aggravated robbery stemming from the incident Sunday. Godoy is being held in Cook County Jail on $50,000 bail, while Sosa-Barrientos is in custody on $25,000 bail.

According to prosecutors, a resident at the Stonebridge of Arlington Heights apartments saw the teens riding a bicycle together as he was driving up to the complex, the Daily Herald reports. Godoy allegedly followed the resident when he exited his car and walked up the stairs to his building behind him, the report stated. Godoy then allegedly pulled out what the resident thought was a gun, the report added. (Get Patch real-time email alerts for the latest Palatine news. And iPhone users: Check out Patch's new app.)

Mountain View's rent- control program has already survived political and legal trials -- but what about the business test? An increasing number of apartment owners appear to be cashing out rather than working under the new restrictions. If the trend continues, some say it will lead to a cascade of redevelopment spearheaded by large corporate buyers . This scenario would result in older apartments being phased out and replaced with new housing that is exempt from rent control. Those looking at the data with a more critical eye point out that sales of apartment buildings are up throughout the South Bay, and that the number of buyers indicates a healthy interest in investing in Mountain View housing , regardless of rent control.

They say they h...
