(La Porte, IN) - Charges have been filed in connection with a man robbed after forced to strip naked at a La Porte housing complex.

 

Kyron Burks, 19, is charged with robbery in La Porte Circuit Court.

 

The La Porte man could face anywhere from a 3-to-16 year sentence on the Level 3 Felony count.

 

According to court documents, the incident happened Friday at Carriage House Apartments at 1700 Andrew Avenue on the city’s west side.  The investigation indicates the victim and Burks were involved in a matter involving a female possibly cheating on her boyfriend.

 

At one point, it appeared the situation was becoming heated when more individuals with guns showed up.  Burks allegedly ordered the victim to strip naked and once in his birthday suit apologized to a person videotaping the incident.  The victim then got into a vehicle and fled.

 

Police said the investigation shows Burks removed a wallet from the pants of the victim left at the scene.  The victim said the wallet contained $1,000 in cash, according to court documents.

 

Burks was being held without bond pending his initial court hearing, which is scheduled Friday.
