A Joliet ex-convict wanted for the armed robbery of the Collins Street Domino’s Pizza was captured Friday in Bradley, police said.
Jaelyn Gant, 27, remained in custody at the Jerome Combs Detention Center in Kankakee, records show.
Gant stuck up the Domino’s the afternoon of Jan. 14, according to the Joliet police, brandishing a firearm and demanding money.
As he made his getaway, police said, Gant fired a single shot at a Domino’s worker but missed his target.
By Feb. 5, the Will County State’s Attorney Office approved charges and a judge issued a $1 million warrant for Gant’s arrest, according to a statement released Saturday by the Joliet police.
Gant was charged with armed robbery, armed habitual criminal and possession of a weapon by a felon, police said.

Gant was released from prison in July after serving a six-and-a-half-year sentence for an aggravated discharge of a firearm conviction, according to Illinois Department of Corrections records. He was still on parole at the time of his arrest, records show.
Gant also served state time receiving possessing or selling a stolen vehicle and criminal damage to property, according to Department of Corrections records.
