CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- A man was charged with gun and drug possession after a traffic stop this week in Rogers Park on the North Side.
Andre Johnson, 25, is facing a felony count of aggravated unlawful use of a firearm, according to a statement from Evanston police.
He also told the officers he had a loaded gun in the vehicle, and that he had a valid FOID card, but no concealed-carry permit, police said. Police found a loaded Smith & Wesson handgun in the Hyundai. Johnson was arrested and the car was impounded.
