U.S. Marshals say 18-year-old Samuel Wilson and two friends came up with a plan that went up in smoke. In August 2024, investigators say the group held up a cashier at a Walgreens at 91st and Appleton not looking for money, but the cigarettes behind the counter.

The group got away with about 30 packs of cigarettes. They planned to sell them for $200, but only got about $20.
"His mindset is just cigarettes. What’s next potato chips? Candy bars?" the investigators said.
