Eighteen-year-old East Chicago resident Tayden Page was charged June 5, 2026, in St. Joseph County with armed robbery in connection with an April 17 robbery in Mishawaka.
Police said the victim arranged to meet several individuals near an abandoned foundry to film a music video. The victim reported that after arriving, four males pointed handguns at him while one of them searched his pockets and took several items, including a Sony camera and a Glock 22 handgun.
The victim identified one of the suspects by the nickname “Taedo.” Investigators later showed the victim photographs of several individuals, and the victim identified Page as the person he knew as “Taedo.” The victim told police all four suspects pointed handguns at him during the robbery.
During the investigation, detectives obtained evidence from a cellphone recovered during an unrelated police pursuit. Court documents allege a video found on the phone showed Page and other suspects with property believed to have been stolen during the robbery, including a Glock 22 handgun and a Sony camera matching the victim’s description.
The robbery was reported in the area of Union Street and East 4th Street in Mishawaka.
Lodged in the Laporte County Jail.
