A 14-year-old boy has been accused of having a loaded semiautomatic pistol at a gathering of young people Saturday night in downtown Naperville. The boy, who lives in Naperville, is charged with felony unlawful possession of a weapon, according to a news release from the DuPage County state’s attorney’s office. DuPage County Judge Chantelle Porter released the boy on home detention with electronic monitoring on Monday.
Authorities say that about 7:33 p.m., Naperville police were doing extra patrols near Washington Street and Jefferson Avenue during what they called a “teen takeover” event. A police officer, believing the boy was behaving suspiciously, searched the boy and found a 9mm handgun in his waistband. The press release did not detail what the suspicious behavior was.
“Residents and visitors to Naperville should expect to continue seeing a large police presence in our downtown, at special events, and anywhere large groups are congregating,” Naperville police Chief Jason Arres said in the news release.
