Two Charged With Mob Action In Public Alton Attack

ALTON – Two men from Alton are accused of attacking someone in public at a local grocery store.

Reginald D. Hodges Jr., 28, and Devan C. Luster, 23, both of Alton, were charged on April 25, 2025 with one count each of mob action, both Class 4 felonies.

Hodges and Luster allegedly acted together in striking the same victim about the head and body on March 14, 2025.
