SYCAMORE – One of five men accused in a September 2011 shooting in DeKalb is serving three years of probation for armed robbery.

Ventreal Lewis, 21, of the 14000 block of Seeley Avenue in Harvey, was involved in a shooting after a drug deal went bad and left a man with a gunshot wound to the leg, authorities said. Lewis had been charged with armed violence and aggravated battery with a firearm as well, but those charges were dropped after he told police he served as a lookout, court records show.

Under a negotiated plea agreement, Lewis also was sentenced Monday to 160 days in jail, but was released after receiving credit for the time he served while the case was pending.
