Three men who were charged with kidnapping and beating a man they suspected was involved in a home invasion were arraigned Friday.

One of the three men, Andres E. Alonso, 26, of the 100 block of Meadow Drive in Shorewood, claimed Friday that he and his family were robbed of about $10,000 worth of property at his wife’s home by four intruders, all of whom claimed to be police officers.

He also alleged Joliet police were not cooperative with him in investigating the incident.

“I thought the cops could help us,” Alonso said after his arraignment Friday.

Joliet Deputy Police Chief Al Roechner said the investigation of the home invasion is ongoing and police are trying to identify the suspects involved. Roechner said he was not able to give more details because the police detective handling the case was unavailable until Tuesday.

Alonso, along with Sergio Flores, 31, of the 700 block of Oakwood Street in Minooka, and Marlon C. Crosby Jr., 24, of the 400 block of Dixon Street in Joliet, pleaded not guilty to charges of aggravated battery, unlawful restraint and mob action.

Flores and Alonso have posted bail but Crosby is still in jail. Each of the men were given a $75,000 bond of which 10 percent was needed to post bail.

The bill of indictment against the three men allege they strangled, beat and detained a man inside of a vehicle. They also allegedly bound the man’s hands and feet with duct tape.

Alonso declined to comment when asked if he beat and bound the victim.

Joliet police arrested the three men on July 10 near the intersection of Caton Farm and County Line roads. The three men were in the car with the victim, whom they suspected was involved in the home invasion, police said.

Alonso alleged they did not kidnap the man and that he volunteered to come with him.

Joliet Deputy Police Chief Ed Gregory said the common term for unlawful restraint is kidnapping and that the three men allegedly did not allow the victim to leave the car.

At about 4:30 a.m. on July 10, Alonso alleged four intruders kicked down the door to his wife’s home while he and his family were inside and asleep. He said his wife, a registered gun owner, reached for her gun but put it away when the intruders screamed they were Joliet police conducting a search warrant.

Alonso said when he saw the intruders were masked, he knew they weren’t officers. One of the intruders was armed with a gun that he pointed at Alonso, his wife and their two-year-old daughter, he said. He alleged he was hit with the gun during the incident.

The items the men stole included a box full of jewelry, a case with designer sunglasses and several of his wife’s firearms, Alonso alleged.

The home had surveillance cameras recording the incident, he said. Alonso said he sent the footage to police.

While the men were masked, Alonso claimed he knew one of the intruders, and had previously argued with him. He said he, Flores and Crosby sought the manto try to getting answers about the home invasion.

Gregory said the case involving the three men is "convoluted" and police have not determined if the man they allegedly kidnapped was involved in the home invasion.

“This is very convoluted. There’s more to it than meets the eye,” Gregory said.

In 2010, Alonso pleaded guilty to the manufacture and delivery of between 30 to 500 grams of marijuana. In 2009, one charge against Alonso of possession of drug paraphernalia was dropped. He pleaded guilty to another charge of possessing drug paraphernalia from the same year.

In 2013, domestic battery charges against Crosby were dropped. He pleaded guilty to a battery charge last year.
