(WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- A Downers Grove man is facing a number of felony charges after prosecutors say he arranged to meet a man to sell concert tickets and robbed him instead.

The DuPage County State’s Attorney’s office said Jordan Daurham, 20 arranged to meet the alleged victim after they had an exchange on Snapchat.

He was selling three wristband tickets to the Summer Smash Hip Hop Music Festival at $100 dollars each.

They met on a street corner at 2:00 p.m. on June 24.

The prosecutor’s office said Daurham was given the money and he handed over the tickets and then pulled out a glock handgun with an extended magazine and took off in a stolen car with the tickets and the money.

It took some time to track the man down. He was arrested this week outside his apartment building after a foot chase. The prosecutor’s office said he was in possession of the gun at the time.

Daurham is charged with three felonies: Armed robbery, possession of a stolen motor vehicle and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.
