Concealed carry holder charged after allegedly brandishing gun on I- 90
A concealed carry permit holder is facing a felony charge after he allegedly brandished a handgun Saturday while riding in a vehicle on the Kennedy Expressway.
Officers stopped a gray Honda sedan about 6: 20 p. m. on Interstate 90 at Nagle Avenue and took 28- year- old Charles R. Peterson into custody after finding a loaded handgun in the vehicle’s center console, Illinois State Police said.
An off- duty Chicago Police officer reported Peterson was following him and had shown the gun after cutting him off, state police said. The handgun was found with a live round in the chamber, and a loaded magazine was found near the gun.
Peterson, of East Dundee, had a valid FOID card and a concealed carry license, state police said. He was identified by the off- duty officer and was charged with a felony count of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon. He was released from Cook County Jail on Sunday after posting $ 3,000 bond, according to the sheriff’s office.
