ELWOOD — A Madison County man could face multiple felony charges after police say he robbed two elderly city residents at gunpoint in their homes in separate incidents earlier this month.

Elwood officers arrested 30-year-old Glen E. Gill, Elwood, Friday at the Madison County Jail on suspicion of two counts of robbery, a Class B felony; two counts of confinement, a Class B felony; two counts of possession of a firearm by a felon, a Class B felony; two counts of intimidation, a Class B felony; and being a habitual offender.

According to a probable cause affidavit:

Gill knocked on the door of a South I Street home at about 10 p.m. Sunday, March 9. Gill asked the 84-year-old resident if he could come inside and use the phone because his car had broken down and his wife and children were stranded.

Gill pretended to use the man’s phone, but eventually pulled out a handgun and ordered the man to give him money. The man gave him $100, but Gill demanded more. The resident then gave Gill more than $400. Gill then threatened to tie the man up, but instead fled the home.

A week later, Gill entered another home, also on South I Street, through a back door at about 8 p.m. He confronted a 77-year-old woman at gunpoint in her living room and demanded money.

The woman gave Gill about $50 from her purse in the kitchen, but Gill wanted more. When the woman said she didn’t have any more cash, Gill began pulling out kitchen drawers searching for money. Before leaving the home, Gill threatened to kill the woman if she called officers, saying he had a police scanner and would know.

Neither homeowner was apparently injured in the incidents, according to the affidavit.

Investigators received a tip on March 20, saying Gill was responsible for the armed robberies. Wednesday they learned Gill was likely in Clinton County, and sheriff’s deputies there took him into custody.

During questioning by Elwood detectives, Gill admitted robbing the elderly residents.

He is being held without bond for violating his probation for a 1996 robbery conviction, according to a press release from Elwood Police Chief Jack Miller. No charges have been filed against Gill, but he could make an initial court appearance as early as Monday.
