In just under four months, police have made 11 firearm-related arrests in or near the Naperville Topgolf parking lot — the latest logged over the weekend.
Delfino Andrade Jr., 32, of Chicago, was taken into custody Saturday night on felony charges of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and possession of a controlled substance. His next court appearance is scheduled for June 23, according to DuPage County Circuit Court records.
Officers were conducting a proactive patrol outside the 3211 Odyssey Court business when the odor of cannabis drew their attention to a specific area of the facility's lot, Naperville police Cmdr. Rick Krakow said.
Looking inside a parked, unoccupied vehicle, they observed several open alcohol containers and a handgun in plain view beneath the driver's seat, Krakow said.
A check of the vehicle owner's registration showed Andrade did not possess a valid Firearm Owner's Identification (FOID) card. After he returned to the vehicle and got into the driver's seat, officers conducted a search, recovered a Glock 21 handgun from the car and found suspected cocaine in Andrade's pocket, Krakow said.
After a nearly four-month break, gun-related arrests outside the facility started up again in early February. Last month alone, police made five arrests in the business' lot.
Most recently, police arrested Roberto Chacon, 28, of Alsip, on May 17 on a felony charge of aggravated unlawful possession of a weapon as well as one charge each of possession of cannabis and unlawful use of cannabis by a driver.
Ahead of this year, Naperville police made 25 arrests on gun-related offenses outside Topgolf between August 2023 and October 2024.
