LOMBARD, Ill. – Three Cook County men have been arrested for kidnapping and brutally beating a man during an attempted car sale at a Lombard gas station, authorities said.

Philip Stamps, Sr., 47, Philip Stamps, Jr., 22, and Joevontae Dixon, 23, appeared in court Thursday morning, where a judge denied the state’s motion to detain them.

They are each charged with one count of aggravated kidnapping-dangerous weapon, a Class X felony, one count of armed robbery, a Class X felony, and one count of aggravated battery in a public place, a Class X felony. 3rd grade, according to the DuPage County State’s Attorney.

Their charges stem from an incident that occurred just after 12:00 a.m. on Nov. 6 at a BP gas station located at 5 East North Avenue in Lombard.

Police initially responded to a report of a fight in progress and found the suspects had left the scene. The victim’s vehicle, an Infiniti Q45, remained at the gas station.

Investigators said the victim met with Stamps Jr. to sell the Infiniti. Stamps Jr. took the car for a test drive, while Stamps Sr. followed in a Chrysler minivan.

Stamps Jr. returned to the gas station, got out of the Infiniti and, along with Stamps Sr. and Dixon, confronted the victim.

Authorities say Stamps Jr. removed the victim’s briefcase, which contained 40 car titles, his cell phone and computer, from the Infiniti.

When the victim tried to retrieve his belongings from the minivan, Stamps Jr. allegedly punched him and hit him in the head. Stamps Sr. then backed the minivan out of the parking lot with the victim inside against her will, authorities said.

The suspects allegedly drove the van on I-290 toward Chicago, threatening to kill the victim and his family and assaulting him with a red anti-theft club on the steering wheel. He also allegedly forced the victim to contact his family and arrange to send money through Zelle.

The victim made two attempts to escape but was unsuccessful and was allegedly beaten and bitten by Stamps Jr. and Dixon.

Police located the van at 3:13 p.m. near California and Van Buren in Chicago. The police stopped the traffic and arrested all three suspects.

The victim had multiple injuries, including bite marks on her arms and stomach and contusions to her head. He was taken to an area hospital, where he remains.

All three suspects are due back in court on December 2. If convicted, all face between six and 30 years in prison.
