An 18-year-old Elgin man has been charged in connection with a Jan. 7 shooting on the city’s near-east side, police said Monday.
Dylan Petersen was arrested late Friday after police executed a search warrant at his home on the 400 block of South Street, recovering a handgun and ammunition, police said.
He was charged with aggravated discharge of a firearm, unlawful use of a weapon, possession of a firearm by a street gang member and no valid Firearm Owner’s Identification.
Police said Petersen had opened fire Jan. 7 at a house on the near-east side. No one was hurt.
In addition to arresting Petersen, police cited four juveniles for underage drinking and located a juvenile runaway from Carpentersville while searching his home, Swoboda said.
Petersen, whose next court date is Feb. 23, was being held Monday in the Kane County jail on $200,000 bond.
He could be sentenced to up to 15 years in prison if convicted of the most serious offense.
