A man coming out of a looted store in Chicago was arrested by police and faces federal gun charges after it was discovered he was an eight-time felon allegedly in possession of a firearm.
The Chicago Tribune reports 40-year-old Adam Walton was spotted coming out of a store and allegedly tried to get in his car before police could get to him.
When he reached his car, Walton told officers he had a gun in the car, then said, “I know I shouldn’t have a gun, I’m on parole for a gun.”
He was allegedly in possession of a Walther P22, the serial number of which “had been defaced.”
Walton’s criminal record goes back to 1997 and his parole is tied to “a 2016 conviction in Cook County [for] being a felon in possession of a handgun.”
