DOWNERS GROVE, IL -- A man has been charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon after he was caught with a gun and ammunition in Downers Grove on April 29. Police say Jose J. Angeles, 30, of Round Lake Heights, Illinois, had a valid FOID card, but did not have a concealed carry permit. They also say they found several rounds of ammunition inside of the vehicle Angeles was driving.
