Five Chicago men who, Scott County Deputies allege, took a car from a driver last year at a Walcott gas station face multiple felony charges, court records say.
Carlos Albento, 26; Yovani Alfanzo-Rivas, 32; Carlos Gomez, 19; Jordan Medina, 26; and Anyel Marron Segora, 19; all face felony charges of second-degree robbery, first-degree theft, controlled substance violation, and drug stamp violation; and a serious misdemeanor charge of person ineligible to carry dangerous weapons, court records show.
The Walcott incident
Deputies say in arrest affidavits that on Oct. 17, 2023, about 5:44 a.m., the five grabbed a victim in a silver Nissan Versa with Colorado license plates, forcing the victim from the car and taking possession of it at the Pilot gas station, 2975 N. Plainview Road, Walcott.
A search warrant was conducted on two other cars in which all five were occupants on this same day when the vehicles had been impounded by Iowa State Patrol at 5:15 a.m., according to affidavits.
During the execution of the search warrant, officers found about two pounds total package weight of marijuana in separate bags, drug paraphernalia, a Ruger LCP .380 automatic pistol, and a Sundance Industries .25 automatic pistol concealed in the vehicles, affidavits show.
All five were being held Wednesday in Scott County Jail. Court records show they are set for a preliminary hearing March 1 in Scott County Court.
