Prosecutors charged three men in Chicago with federal gun crimes Friday– the first charges under the Justice Department’s new crime initiative in the city.
Hundreds of federal officials poured into Chicago in recent days as part of President Trump’s “Operation Legend,” aimed at tackling violent crime and gun offenses.
Romeo Holloway, 21, was arrested Tuesday night by federal and local law enforcement officers for illegally possessing a loaded handgun.
Darryl Collins, 30, was arrested Wednesday afternoon by Chicago police for illegally possessing ammunition, which was in a loaded handgun, according to the criminal complaint.
Both men had previously been convicted of felonies for unlawful possession of a firearm or ammunition
Federal and local law enforcement officers also executed a search warrant at the home of Darryl Phillips, 22, of Chicago, early Wednesday morning. Officers discovered a semiautomatic handgun in a bedroom, the complaint said.
A special agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), said the firearm was equipped with an auto-sear device, or “switch,” allowing the gun to fire more than one shot without manually reloading, the complaint states.
