OFF THE WIRE
Bond was set at $2.5 million today for the man accused in a 1982 killing in Round Lake Beach.
Robert Bostic, 70, allegedly shot Carlton Richmond in a garage at 811 Oakwood Drive, Round Lake Beach. The garage was used as a clubhouse at the time by a motorcycle gang called the Wheelmen, authorities said.
Richmond, 31, and the father of two children was shot in the chest with a handgun on June 25, 1982, according to Lake County Assistant State’s Attorney Stephen Scheller.
Bostic, now a Tennesee resident, was a member of the Wheelmen and has a lengthy arrest record dating back to the 1960s, including battery, attempted murder and rape, Scheller said.
Circuit Court Judge Raymond Collins ordered Bostic back in court Feb. 9 for status of attorney. He remains in Lake County Jail.
