~ Today, DuPage County State's Attorney Robert Berlin and Naperville Chief of Police Jason Arres announced that bond has been denied for Darron Prince, a 36-year-old convicted felon from Joliet. Judge Ann Celine O'Hallaren Walsh granted the State's motion to deny bond after Prince was charged with one count of Armed Habitual Criminal and one count of Armed Violence, both Class X Felonies.
The incident began on September 11th at approximately 9:34 p.m., when a Naperville police officer on foot patrol at TopGolf on Odyssey Court noticed an odor of cannabis coming from an unoccupied Volkswagen SUV. Upon further inspection, the officer noticed a gun protruding from the driver's side door frame. Approximately one hour later, Prince returned to the parking lot and entered the SUV at which time Naperville police officers immediately activated their emergency lights to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle. It is alleged that Prince made movements towards the door frame where the gun was located causing officers to order him to stop reaching toward the door frame. Prince was taken into custody at that time and when searching the vehicle, police located a loaded Glock 42 handgun in the driver's side door frame, as well as 40 grams of cannabis, 1.2 grams of mushrooms, 12 grams of cocaine, 19 grams of heroin and one pill of MDMA.

Berlin stated "With multiple felony convictions, there is absolutely no justification whatsoever why Mr. Prince was in possession of a loaded firearm, as alleged in this case...The allegations that he was in possession of a loaded weapon at a family-friendly recreation facility are extremely troubling and if found guilty of today's charges, he will find himself facing a significant amount of time behind bars." Arres added "I continue to stress that the Naperville Police Department is proactive in seizing illegal weapons, and this case is just the latest example...Our officers are making an extraordinary effort to keep this community safe."
Prince currently has pending theft (Class 1 Felony) and Armed Habitual Criminal (Class X Felony) cases out of Will County as well as previous felony convictions including Unlawful Use of a Weapon by a Gang Member and Unlawful Use of a Weapon by a Felon. His next court appearance is scheduled for September 27th for arraignment in front Judge Brian Telander. The public should be reminded that these charges are not proof of guilt; rather they are merely accusations until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt in court.
