Prosecutors say, on January 1, Wilson along with Montavious "Bobo" Graham committed a home invasion, forcing their way into a rural Jackson County residence. During the crime, there was a struggle over a gun, and Graham, 17, of Carbondale, .
The indictment alleges Wilson and Graham were also involved in an armed robbery earlier that day, taking a cell phone, $30 in cash, and a pack of cigarettes from a victim by force.
Wilson is also charged with taking a cell phone from another victim.
According to the Jackson County State's Attorney's Office, each armed robbery charge carries a potential sentence of 6 to 30 years in prison. Because a gun was used, a minimum of 15 years must be added to each sentence.
