Convicted felon arrested in Naperville on charges he was driving 4 loaded guns
A convicted felon has been charged with unlawful gun possession after Naperville police found several loaded firearms in his car, including one with a 50-round drum magazine and another converted into an automatic weapon, officials said. Marcus Carroll, 30, of Calumet City, was pulled over on a traffic stop about 2 a.m. Saturday at Aurora Avenue and South Route 59 after police spotted a handgun inside his car while it had been parked, a news release from the DuPage County State's Attorney's Office and Naperville Police Department said. Officers recovered the Glock 43 9mm gun with a 50-round drum magazine they'd initially seen on the floorboard behind the front passenger seat. The weapon had been moved to beneath the driver's seat, where it was 'uncased, loaded and immediately accessible,' the release said. During a search of the vehicle, police also found a backpack containing a Glock 23 .40-caliber gun with a switch rendering it fully automatic, a Springfield Hellcat 9mm gun and a Glock 19 9mm gun. All four weapons were loaded with one round in the chamber, the release said. Carroll was charged with one count each of unlawful possession of a weapon by a repeat felony offender, a class X felony, and unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon, a class 2 felony. DuPage County Associate Judge Christine Cody granted the prosecution's motion that Carroll be held at the county jail pending trial, the release said. His next court appearance is scheduled for June 23. 'With a history of multiple felony convictions, including armed robbery with a firearm and vehicular hijacking, Mr. Carroll is legally prohibited from possessing a firearm,' State's Attorney Robert Berlin said in a statement. 'The allegation that he was in possession of four loaded weapons, one with a 50-round drum and another that had been modified to allow it to fire fully automatic, are extremely troubling,' he said.

Bazetta man receives sentence in road-rage case
WARREN, Ohio (WKBN) — A Bazetta man received his sentence Wednesday in a local road rage case. Read next: Ruling made on cause of missing Warren man's death Brett Budd was sentenced to three years of basic probation, starting with 90 days in the Trumbull County Jail, according to the Trumbull County Prosecutor's Office. He was also given two 180-day suspended jail sentences and can no longer own firearms. As part of his sentence, he must take an anger management course and forfeit his AR-15 and Springfield Hellcat pistol. Budd pleaded guilty in January to an amended indictment charging him with two counts of misdemeanor assault and felony discharge of a firearm on or near prohibited premises. The change in plea came two days after he was supposed to stand trial for a second time. Budd's first trial ended in a hung jury. He was charged following the incident in February 2024. Prosecutors say Budd drove a vehicle into the back of the victims' vehicle and took off. The victims then followed Budd to his home, where they confronted him. Prosecutors say Budd fired a gun from his home, hurting one of the victims. Nadine Grimley contributed to this report. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
