A recent Lincoln Park High School graduate was ordered held on $150,000 bail Saturday in connection to a recent string of strongarm robberies in the Lakeview neighborhood.
Bryce K. McGill, 18, faces multiple counts of robbery and one count of aggravated robbery for several street robberies, at least three taking place on July 6 in the Boystown enclave in Lakeview, prosecutors said at the Leighton Criminal Court Building.
In all of the attacks, McGill and an unnamed accomplice approached men and women on the street, and McGill would punch the victim in the face, prosecutors said. The pair then grabbed the proceeds, including iPhones and wallets, and fled on foot. McGill is connected to at least five robberies, including one in which he implied he had a handgun, prosecutors said.

Saturday’s hearing took an emotional turn when McGill’s court-appointed attorney told the court during mitigation that McGill had graduated from high school last month and had received a full scholarship to the University of North Carolina.
A spokeswoman for UNC could not immediately verify the scholarship claim.
“UNC? Full ride?” Judge Peggy Chiampas asked loudly in the courtroom. “I need a break,” she said before briefly storming from the courtroom for a brief recess.

But he was a good boy, who loved his momma, and who was turning his life around....
He is a high yella fella. Can we blame this one on white people?
He just needed a little funding to make med school happen.
He doesn’t deserve a scholarship, if he’s dumb enough to still be committing crimes after receiving the award.
This just may reflect the way he was brought up, or how easily he can be led to do the wrong thing.
I guess the fact that he was a high school graduate is a more notable factoid in Chicago than his race and that is why the Tribune put it in the headline. :^)
Studunce from the publik skools, I assume!
Maybe he’ll turn his life around in prison?
Bryce?
What kind of name is that for a brother. No wonder he went bad.
I bet he didn’t have a scholarship and the family are lying.
Another “Gentle Giant”, like Mike?
let me guess another aspiring Rapper
Looks like he had a plan.
Does the mayor approve?
Seriously. He never had a chance.
No visible neck tats.
If they’d have named him “Tanner”, who knows what kind of carnage, murder and mayhem may have resulted.
In all honesty, Chicago kids were asked what they will do after graduating HS otherwise they couldn’t graduate.
Maybe he had a pell grant!
Maybe he had a pell grant!
Black privilege. Be Black and get a full scholarship: Whitey pays full tuition, part of which goes to pay for Blackie’s.
Why college tuition is so high. It’s not high for everybody! it’s high only for Whitey and his kids.
