LOMBARD, sick. – Three Cook County men were arrested for kidnapping and brutally beating a man during an attempted car sale at a gas station in Lombard, 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 Class 3 felony, according to the DuPage County State’s Attorney.

Their charges stem from an incident that occurred shortly after 12 pm on November 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 arrived to find that the suspects had left the scene. The victim’s vehicle, an Infiniti Q45, remained at the gas station.

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

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

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

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

The suspects reportedly drove the minivan down I-290 toward Chicago, threatened to kill the victim and his family, and assaulted him with a red anti-theft club on the steering wheel. They also allegedly forced the victim to contact his family and arrange to send money through Zelle.

The victim made two escape attempts but was unsuccessful and Stamps Jr. and Dixon reportedly punched and bit her.

Police located the minivan at 3:13 pm near California and Van Buren in Chicago. Officers conducted a traffic stop and arrested the three suspects.

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

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