Chicago Police have arrested Illinois State Rep. Curtis Tarver II (D) after finding a gun in his car they say he was not licensed to carry.
Police say Tarver was driving on the city’s South Side Monday night when officers noticed that he had a broken headlight and pulled him over. When officers spotted a handgun in the vehicle, they determined that the concealed carry permit that Tarver handed them had been revoked.
The Chicago Democrat was charged with one misdemeanor count of not having a valid concealed carry permit, cited for a broken headlight, and taken into custody. He was released a short time later after posting bond.
Carver did not immediately return calls by The Associated Press to his offices in Chicago and Springfield.
