Prosecutors say the Jeep drove onto the sidewalk and ran red lights before it crashed into two cars that were stopped for a traffic signal near Michigan Avenue and Harrison Street, not far from the Lolapalooza festival. The Jeep's driver bailed out and [Torrence] Reese ran from its front passenger seat, Assistant State's Attorney Steven Haamid said Friday. [A witness-recorded] video shows what happened next. A man wearing a tie-dye shirt stuck his leg out and tripped Reese, who fell to the sidewalk. He got back up and started running, only to be pushed into a pole by the same bystander as cops approached. Cops found a blue bookbag on the front passenger seat where Reese had been, Haamid said. Inside, officers found the loaded handgun with the auto-fire switch and extended magazine along with three bottles of promethazine and $8,100 worth of pot, according to Haamid. ... They charged Reese with possession of cannabis and possessing a controlled substance for the pot and promethazine that was allegedly inside the blue bag. "Why isn't this gun charged?" asked Judge [Mary] Marubio [during a Friday afternoon bail hearing]. "40-caliber handgun with an extended magazine and auto switch." "The gun charge was reviewed, and decisions were made at that time to not charge that gun," Haamid replied. "But is he then charged with the drugs in that bag?" Marubio countered. "That is my understanding," Hammid affirmed. After a long silence, Marubio offered a confounded, "Okay." ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alco0203 Posted September 12, 2022 at 03:09 PM Share Posted September 12, 2022 at 03:09 PM The Feds should've stepped in because those auto switches are big no-no's and you will serve serious time for one if they convict you. The Feds are pretty good at convictions (they have like a 90+% rate I believe) and this scumbag deserves Federal prison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main guy in charge of supplying a good amount of Glock switches in Chicago recently got 10 years. He was in possession of 117 of them. https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/robbins-man-gets-10-years-for-trafficking-guns-and-switch-devices-in-chicago-area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
