Tom Dart: Cook County’s Most Wanted Robert Axen, Chinzorig Tsogoo: MyFoxCHICAGO.com Fugitive Friday
A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Bobby Axen after he failed to appear in court on December 28th, 2010 to face charge of aggravated arson.
On June 17, 2010, while at the home of his parents on the 4500 block of North Oriole Avenue, Axen became belligerent. Bobby Axen demanded his father’s car keys, and when his father refused, he threatened to harm everybody at the house. Axen’s father left the house to call police from his cell phone. When Axen’s father returned inside, he smelled smoke, and he saw Axen coming up the basement stairs and flee the house. When Axen’s father went downstairs, the basement was on fire. He was unable to put out the flames with a hose from the sink, and ran upstairs to wake two other family members in the home. All family members were able to evacuate the house. Norridge firefighters responded and were able to knock down the fire. Later fire investigators identified four separate locations where Axen set fires in the basement. The basement ceiling was charred and the entire house had smoke damage.
